Accelerating research with advanced digital infrastructure
Accelerating research with advanced digital infrastructure is the newest insert to the suite of Research Snapshots that provide a concise, compelling overview of key highlights in a specific theme or area.
Launched at the UCT Annual Research Celebration on 2 December 2025, this brochure showcases the university’s first-rate technology enabled research offerings (eResearch) that encompass systems for storage, transfer, analysis, preservation and dissemination of data. UCT has built a first-rate eResearch ecosystem, enabling African scholarship to contribute meaningfully to global knowledge.
From research software to research data, the brochure shares information on the UCT High Performance Computing (HPC) Facility and the university's commitment to ethical, collaborative research supported by strong governance and open science principles.
The portfolio of Snapshots has been developed by the Research Office to feature UCT’s research focal areas including the critical mobilising levers which are a cornerstone for the university’s research enterprise.
