Wits and UCL Strengthen Global Research Partnership
-
Wits recently welcomed a delegation from University College London (UCL) to strengthen collaboration in research, innovation, and global engagement.
At the beginning of May, Alison Simons and Samia Chasi hosted a delegation from University College London (UCL), led by Geraint Rees. The delegation included Jolene Skordis, Julius Mugwagwa, Ciaran Moynihan, and Amanda Chukwudozie.
The visit reinforced the longstanding UCL–Wits partnership in health, urbanisation, climate, and artificial intelligence. Hosted by Lynn Morris, discussions brought together colleagues from across Wits’ faculties, the Wits Innovation Centre, and the Wits Machine Intelligence and Neural Discovery Institute to reflect on current collaborations and future opportunities.
The delegation also toured the Health Sciences campus, including the BioHub, the Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute, and the Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct, highlighting Wits’ research and innovation ecosystem.
