Institutional Practices for Internationalization of Research at the University of Juba, South Sudan

Abstract

Internationalization of research is a key pillar for a university’s global engagement. However, the extent of internationalization at the University of Juba remains unclear. This article examines institutional practices for research internationalization, gathering data from 14 knowledgeable participants. Findings identify a lack of resources, clear guidelines, and policies, with research largely limited to international collaborations and partnerships. The University of Juba should focus on developing comprehensive policies and guidelines that define a clear strategy, goals, and objectives for internationalizing research.
