Professor Ntombela cautioned delegates against settling into roles solely as teachers. Higher education demands critical engagement and the generation of new solutions for real-world issues. "In higher education, you can’t just teach material and end there," she noted. "The material you use to teach comes from people like you. In order for your work to be read and taught elsewhere, you have to advance beyond being just a teacher." ]]> Education Thu, 05 Nov 2026 11:00:00 +0200 0 0 Professor Thabile Ntombela 0 0 MUT RADIO full 38:58 MU Research and Innovation Colloquium https://iono.fm/e/1736842 https://iono.fm/e/1736842
Speaking under the theme of shifting from basic research output to tangible societal benefit, Professor Khathi challenged researchers to rethink the fundamental purpose of academic inquiry. “Research excellence only asks: What have we discovered? But if you are aiming for socio-economic impact, you and your students need to ask: What is different because of our discovery?” Khathi told the audience. “Let every paper be the beginning of a pathway towards useful innovation, stronger communities, and more opportunities.” ]]> Education Thu, 05 Nov 2026 10:30:00 +0200 0 0 Professor Andile Khathi 0 0 MUT RADIO full 43:11 MU Research and Innovation Colloquium https://iono.fm/e/1736838 https://iono.fm/e/1736838
