Transforming Higher Education for a Sustainable Tomorrow

This volume presents the pioneering nine initiatives structured as a platform to break away from the business-as-usual mindset to deliver excellence through knowledge discoveries. Each of the initiatives has been nurtured in the last two years using a variety of "business unusual" approaches, challenging the status quo to create the world's first discoveries and/or innovations. Each is potentially an iconic Centre of Excellence (CoE) that has the advantage to autonomously blaze new trails in delivering excellence from an indigenous base with a global outreach directed more at the marginalised and underprivileged majority which in the university's mission statement are contextualised as the bottom billion.
