emerging Researcher, the
Nurturing passion, developing skills, producing output
J DE GRUCHY & L HOLNESS
The Emerging Researcher Programme (ERP) at the University of Cape Town was launched in 2003 in response to an urgent need for the building of research capacity in a new generation of researchers in South Africa. The Programme focuses on issues such as Completing higher degrees; Writing for publication; Preparation of proposals; Research planning and Graduate supervision.
The ERP draws on the expertise of retired senior academics – who work in conjunction with the programme co-ordinators – to assist academics in the development of their personal research profiles. This book is an account of what has been done in the ERP, the challenges encountered along the way, and what has been learnt in the process. As a model it could be adapted to other situations both within South Africa and in the broader African context.
