Tshwane University of Technology

It is the result of the integration of three South African universities focused on conducting teaching and research particularly on the stability between resources for local development and the environment in a country where divisions along racial, ethnic, social and economic lines are still strong.

In co-coordination with the UT, TUT has developed the Joint African Master Programme on Comparative Local Development (JAMP) – a partnership with the University of Botswana, the Mozambiquean University of Saint Thomas and the Polytechnic of Namibia.

JAMP re-contextualises the theoretical, educational and regulatory framework developed by an approach that seeks to create the conditions of knowledge and experience exchange concerning theoretical and research aspects on local development with special attention on the analysis of systems of innovation, science and technology policy and local economic development.
