GRT INSPIRED

The Gauteng Research Triangle is a research collaboration between the University of Johannesburg; the University of Pretoria; and the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

These three leading, research-intensive universities have decided to pool their considerable resources to enhance our understanding of the space we all inhabit, the people who inhabit it, the policies needed to balance social, economic, and sustainable priorities, and how best to maximise the impact of the universities on society.

The Gauteng Research Triangle (GRT) was founded in 2019 with the intention of creating a critical mass that would allow the GRT to step beyond project-based research and competition in preference jointly undertaking audacious research projects to enable global competitiveness in research and translate this leading research into national (South Africa) and regional (Africa) impact.

Population-Based Science

The South African Population Research Infrastructure Network (SAPRIN) is a partnership between public, and academic institutions, aiming to produce high-quality research. The purpose of SAPRIN is to collect data that will help us to understand the changes in Hillbrow area over time. We will be able to understand the people of Hillbrow (for example, how many children are born here every year), their needs, and how to improve the community.
