Mission and Goals
The vision of the centre is to become a research institution of international repute. In pursuit of its mission, the AU-KBC Research Centre initiates research in new and emerging thrust areas such as nanosciences and expands research in established areas such as communications and biology with a strong modelling and experimental component. There is a strong interdisciplinary core of mathematics, physics and computing sciences that impact on all the teaching and research work at the Centre. The Centre does academic research with a prominent long-term perspective; the choice of directions and problems however are made in close interaction with industry. Research in core and thrust areas are oriented towards practical applications and also serve as a source of skilled personnel in niche areas.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or goals:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“If you really think about it, everything is wonderful in this world, everything except for our thoughts and deeds when we forget about the loftier goals of existence, about our human dignity.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
