The vision of The University of Trinidad and Tobago is the creation of an ecosystem where entrepreneurship and innovation develop and flourish from high quality research and new ideas. Our research priorities are multidisciplinary and give emphasis to issues and challenges which are germane to the socio-economic development of Trinidad and Tobago within a globalised environment. We are committed to excellence in research and scholarship while being mindful of the practical applications to benefit society. We direct our efforts to major national developmental priorities for which UTT has a competitive advantage. Therefore, our investment in applied research is streamlined into clusters based on priority areas in Energy, Environmental Protection, Manufacturing, Transport and Infrastructure, Food Production, Creative Industries, ICT, Maritime Services, Education, Health, and Public Safety. In our research projects, we also leverage the benefits of external collaborations with Government, Industry and other external research partners for technical and financial support. The UTT demonstrates innovation in the way we do our work and we support our researchers and innovators to create commercial value and generate wealth for our society.
