One of the critical objectives to attain the aim of promoting research for impact at Stellenbosch University is the establishment of interdisciplinary research focus areas. The University is refocusing its thinking and strategic planning on ways to hone the strengths of the institution to becoming a leading 21^st-century university, by simultaneously addressing some of the pressing needs of South Africa, as well as delivering on the challenges brought by, inter alia, the expanding knowledge economy and the effects of globalisation.
