30 Jaaroorsig • 2007 Alumni honoured people who carried the UFS name beyond our campus borders. Here are, from the left: Mr Deon Meyer, well-known writer, Mr Zingile Dingani, Secretary of Parliament, Prof. Helena van Zyl, Director of the School of Management, and Mr Corrie van Zyl, Assistant couch of the Protea Cricket Team. Die Fakulteit Teologie handhaaf ’n hoë na vor sings uitsetsyfer. Dié klein fakulteit met 2% van die UV se na vorserskorps was in 2006 vir 10% van die na vor sings uitsette verantwoordelik. Hoëronderwysnavorsing kry tuiste Bykomend tot die navorsingsaktiwitieite van personeel en studente is ’n subafdeling vir Hoëronderwysnavorsing in die groter afdeling Hoëronderwysstudie en -Navorsing gevestig om die gehalte van navorsing in die afdeling te verbeter en uit te brei. Prof. ‘Mabokang Monnapula-Mapesela is die hoof van die subafdeling. Besondere mylpale was twee navorsingsprojekte, naamlik ’n Inheemse Kennisprojek (IK) oor die orale tradisie en ’n ETDP SETA-projek oor kapasiteitsontwikkeling. Vyf navorsers het aan die ETDP SETA-projek deelgeneem waaruit ses artikels vir publikasie voorgelê is. Vier werkswinkels met betrekking oor orale tradisie is aangebied. Close relations with industry The UFS is continuing to work closely with industry in various areas. Sasol invested R9 million over the past three years in the Department of Chemistry. This was part of the strategic alliance forged between the UFS and Chemistry, in terms of which the UFS invested R12 million in the department. (These amounts exclude the expenditure on the chemistry-building renovation project, which may eventually cost approximately R50 million.) Sasol has been very impressed with the department’s increase in significant published research outputs on basic petrochemical reactions. The Netcare Private Hospital Group made a donation to the Department of Haematology and Cell Biology for among others the establishment of a bone-marrow transplant programme, the development of a molecular-biology laboratory and the development of anti-leukemia remedies. Through the Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme (THRIP), managed by the NRF and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the university is involved with many projects with industrial partners. A project of the Centre for Plant Health Management (CePHma) has won a 2007 Technology Award presented by the national Department of Trade and Industry.
’n Syaansig van die Chemie-gebou wat aanbouings en vernuwings van etlike miljoene rand ondergaan. The university recognises the importance of not only generating new knowledge, but also actively participating in the application and utilisation of such knowledge and tech nologies to generate new products, processes and services. The most important aims of working with industry include: • Responding to national (and global) initiatives aimed at improving the environment for commercialisation at the UFS ’n Bedrag van R13,7 miljoen is aan die Departement Mikrobiese, Biochemiese en Voed sel bio tegnologie se Bio chemiese afdeling toegeken om navor sing te doen op pre historiese organismes.

Die kontrak behels die stigting van ’n platform vir meta genomika – ’n tegniek wat na vor sers in staat stel om DNA uit mikrobes in hul natuurlike habitat te onttrek en dit verder in die labora toriums te ondersoek. Die projek word ondersteun deur die Departement van Wetenskap en Tegnologie en die NNS wat bydraes lewer tot die beurse van die 17 nagraadse studente in die program.
