Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the launch of our new Digital Transformation Hub website, a dedicated resource to keep you informed on the university’s strategic initiatives and advancements in technology and innovation. This platform will serve as a hub for updates, resources, and success stories, as we continue to evolve in our digital journey.

Unlock Innovation at UP – Share Your Ideas!

In tandem, we are also introducing an Idea Management System, designed to encourage collaboration and innovation across the university. This is a partnership with TuksNovation and the Centre for the Future of Work.

Great ideas drive progress, and at the University of Pretoria, your ideas matter! We’re excited to introduce our Idea Management System—a dynamic platform designed for our students, and staff to contribute, collaborate, and create impactful solutions that drive UP forward.
