“I think this Fairness Initiative gives you a tool that you can put on the table, so you can start negotiating on a more level platform.” – Prof Prem Govender, Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University

“From an NRF perspective partnerships are a key component of NRF business, and fairness and transparency are shared values to which the NRF subscribes… I think [the principles of fairness in research] are universally applicable… We definitely will be exploring how one can incorporate the principles – shaping institutional partnerships for example… As an institution we will also look at how we can create awareness of the RFI tool.” – , Dr Kwezi Mzilikazi, National Research Foundation
