TEMA - Department of Thematic Studies


TEMA - The Department of Thematic Studies provides a unique institutional framework committed in its pursuit of interdisciplinary research to be of vital social and environmental importance in thematic fields of knowledge between and beyond disciplinary boundaries. We act as an interface helping to meld research excellence with educational pursuits, actively involving other societal and stakeholder interests. We foster our students and junior researchers with the capacity to become experts through creative and synergetic thinking at the frontiers of scientific and societal development.
