8 Jaaroorsig • 2007 Jong navorsers het hulle navorsing bekendgestel op ’n navorsingsdag van die Fakulteit Geesteswetenskappe Van links is me. Steffi Cawood, prof. Engela Pretorius (Visedekaan van die fakulteit), me. Maryna de Wet, me. Nadine Lake en me. Katherine Geldenhuys. Each cluster is further associated with at least one recognised NRF Institutional Research Development Program me (IDRP) Research Niche Area (RNA). Eight RNAs were approved for the UFS in 2007, the highest number of all universities in the country. These RNAs encompass 24 NRF-funded research projects, representing a combined total commitment of almost R30 million to the UFS over the next five years from 2008 to 2012. The RNAs for the UFS include: • Agricultural risk management for Africa • High throughput identification and characterisation of biological and bioactive molecules • Integrated water-resource management • Local development in arid and semi-arid areas of the central region of South Africa • Managing the TB-HIV/AIDS co-epidemic: patient and systems dimensions • Nano-solid state lighting • Polymer blends, composites and nanocomposites (modified polymers) • The development of sustainable crop value chains for staple and underutilised crops in the semi-arid regions of Southern Africa. The Cluster Initiative is seen as one of five major in stitutional mega-projects aiming at repositioning the UFS at a significantly higher level of academic performance and stature in five years. Intellectual property protected An Intellectual Property (IP) Policy for managing and direct ing issues relating to intellectual property at the UFS was approved for implementation. Progress has also been made with contract research, the marketing of intellectual pro perty and research commercialisation. A candidate at torney has been assisting with contract management. The acting Director for Entrepreneurship and Special Projects continued his duties during 2007 and a process has been initiated to appoint a manager to spearhead research commercialisation. Legal representatives have been contracted to handle patents for the UFS.
