Research networking and interaction
The non-metal group has particularly fruitful collaboration with Canadian scientists, 
which has involved prolonged stays by both staff and PhD students and has resulted 
in a significant number of joint publications. A research consortium has been formed 
with the UJ Laboratory of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, involving joint 
supervision and shared courses and instrumentation.
The analytical group is a member of the international consortium Measurement 
Science in Chemistry, which delivers a high-quality MSc programme.
Both groups have industrial collaborations appropriate to their interests. Industry 
has hosted many MSc projects.
Recommendations
The synthetic group, while maintaining its development of chalcogen chemistry, 
should extend its research to a broader range of elements. The analytical group would 
benefit from more collaboration at an international level. The instrumentation should 
be maintained and enhanced.
