What this means

This is a University of Zululand web page for the 3rd RATMS 2026 Student Research Competition, a platform for emerging researchers run alongside a symposium. It sets out two presentation pathways - an oral presentation category and a poster presentation category - for eligible postgraduate presenters, who may be considered for presentation awards. Abstracts are reviewed by a Scientific Committee using a structured scoring rubric, and student status is captured during abstract submission and/or registration. The page also announces a THP-Researcher Knowledge Exchange bringing Traditional Health Practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders into dialogue on indigenous knowledge and related matters. No closing dates or award values are printed - the approved award categories and prizes will be published once confirmed.

THP–Researcher Knowledge Exchange

A dedicated knowledge-exchange platform will bring Traditional Health Practitioners, researchers and other stakeholders into dialogue around indigenous knowledge, scientific validation, ethical research partnerships, intellectual property, benefit-sharing and the responsible translation of traditional medicine research. It is presented as reciprocal exchange rather than one-way research.
