Research @ UWI
Advancing our research capacity and output in areas of critical importance to the Caribbean and to the international community, is a major priority at The UWI St. Augustine Campus.
The mandate and vision of the School for Graduate Studies and Research is to develop the quality and relevance of graduate education and research at The University of the West Indies and to establish The UWI as the internationally recognized research leader in selected focal areas that are particularly relevant to developing countries in tropical areas globally.
A selected history of the research of The UWI St. Augustine Campus is contained in a series of books and films produced between 2010 and 2015 entitled: Decades of Research (2010); Oasis of Ideas (Documentary film, 2010); Advancing Knowledge, Impacting Lives (2015) and a series of associated films by the same name. The latter films show both a sample overview of key campus research projects during this time, and the Institutes, Departments, Faculties and Individuals researchers who are driving these initiatives.
