SOST research continues to reflect The University of Fiji’s strategic commitment to serve our South Pacific community. School prides itself on recruiting the talent,
innovative researchers with the support of international donors funding , such as USAiD, EU and JICA.<\/span><\/p>

As we move forward, we\u2019ll continue to strengthen and expand <\/span>key international partnerships with local, regional and international universities, industries and <\/span>government. In close collaboration with our <\/span>industry and government partners, we will focus on improving\u00a0 <\/span>the ways in which our research can maximize the support to our community.
<\/span><\/p>

From our SOST unique strengths, consulting with the research <\/span>community and identifying the world\u2019s most critical challenges, <\/span>we have identified four important areas that will form a framework <\/span>for the SOST\u2019s continuing interdisiciplanary research efforts:<\/span><\/p>

Researching the climate helps us to predict how much rain cloud reduce to drop in our Fijian soil, or how far our sea levels will rise due to warmer sea temperatures. We can also see which of our island can be most likely to be affected by extreme weather, or which wildlife species are threatened by climate change.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
