The Faculty of Engineering at Stellenbosch University (SU) is extremely thrilled with seven academic staff members that were awarded NRF ratings recently. These ratings are valid until 2028.
NRF ratings are allocated based on a researcher’s recent research outputs and impact, as international peer reviewers perceive. The ratings are awarded within the following categories:
- Category A: Leading international researchers
- Category B: Internationally acclaimed researchers
- Category C: Established researchers
- Category P: Prestigious awards
- Category Y: Promising young researchers (40 years and younger)
Noteworthy is the increase of NRF-rated researchers within the Faculty: from 47 in 2022 to 53 in 2023. https://www.eng.sun.ac.za/about-us/
