The Percy FitzPatrick
Institute has an international reputation for research excellence in
ornithology and high quality post-graduate educational programmes in ornithology and conservation biology. In recognition
of this achievement, and to support an ambitious new research programme, the
Institute was recently identified as a Centre of
Excellence in Birds as Keys to Biodiversity Conservation by the Department of Science and Technology and the National Research
Foundation. Our research team comprises a
national network of researchers from the Percy FitzPatrick
Institute and collaborating partners
at four other institutions.

"Centres of Excellence (CoE) are
physical or virtual centres of research which concentrate existing
capacity and resources to enable researchers to collaborate across
disciplines and institutions, on long-term projects that are
locally relevant and internationally competitive in order to
enhance the pursuit of research excellence and capacity
development."

the NRF).
