Department of Higher Education (DHET) policy-related information
All qualifying creative research outputs must be captured manually on the DHET report template. The categories with corresponding sub-categories and guidelines for completing the capture are reflected in this report template:
The DHET’s policy requires that a researcher submitting creative research outputs, submit a number of declarations. You may use the template below to submit these declarations.
The DHET will be working with the National Intellectual Property Management Office (NIPMO) to obtain submission details of institutional Patents. No direct Patent submissions will therefore be required from institutions.
