UCT to host first-ever THE World Academic Summit in Africa

The University of Cape Town (UCT) is ready to position itself well during a period of global uncertainty – not just as an institution that prides itself in excellence, but one that prioritises solving societal problems.

In August 2024, Professor Mosa Moshabela took office as the 11th vice chancellor (VC) of the University of Cape Town (UCT), beginning a journey marked by people-centred leadership, collaboration, and engagement.

UCT is acting proactively to safeguard this vital work. We are broadening our networks, seeking out new partners, and diversifying our funding sources to ensure that groundbreaking research continues—research that changes and saves lives across the globe.
