Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the launch of our new Digital Transformation Hub website, a dedicated resource to keep you informed on the university’s strategic initiatives and advancements in technology and innovation. This platform will serve as a hub for updates, resources, and success stories, as we continue to evolve in our digital journey.
Unlock Innovation at UP – Share Your Ideas!
In tandem, we are also introducing an Idea Management System, designed to encourage collaboration and innovation across the university. This is a partnership with TuksNovation and the Centre for the Future of Work.
Great ideas drive progress, and at the University of Pretoria, your ideas matter! We’re excited to introduce our Idea Management System—a dynamic platform designed for our students, and staff to contribute, collaborate, and create impactful solutions that drive UP forward.
Why participate?
From improving campus services to shaping new digital experiences, this is your opportunity to make a real difference!

Dear colleagues, I recently announced the launch of the University of Pretoria’s new Digital Transformation Hub website as well as introduced the Idea Management System — our platform for reimagining how we work, teach, research and serve. Now, it’s your turn to lead the charge.
UP's Mamelodi Campus hosted students from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University to teach local high school learners how to use AI to create solutions to real-world problems.
The University of Pretoria (UP) is commemorating 117 years of shaping minds and transforming lives. From its humble beginnings in 1908 to its current status as one of Africa’s leading institutions, UP’s journey embodies the spirit of progress and dedication to knowledge creation.
