INNOVATION
R esearch continues to be a critical part of The UWI Cave Hill Campus’ stra- tegic agenda and in the year under review, the institution continued to demon- strate excellence beyond teaching and learning through our capacity to produce impactful and quality research. This was supported by our ability, through our researchers, to attract much-needed funding from various funding agencies worldwide. The Campus is therefore positioned as one that is responsive to producing research that satisfies the needs of local, regional and international communi- ties and this complements The UWI’s Triple A Strategy (2017-2022).
Aspects of the access and alignment goals speak to increasing the quality and quantity of high impact research (AC4) and increasing grants for academic and applied research to contribute to the bottom-line of the university (AL1). This is a critical part of strengthening the institution’s research reputation, especially as part of a wider UWI institution that has succeeded in sustaining a leading position among the region’s best. Furthermore, in recent times, The UWI has significantly scored 100% in the citations (research influence) performance indicator used by the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) ranking agency. Research will also be vital to innovation as the Campus is set to become an innovation hub in Barbados and the wider Caribbean while generating new revenue streams.
