Director, Centre for Community Technologies
Prof Darelle van Greunen is Professor at the School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Director of the Center for Community Technologies, Nelson Mandela University. The research and engagement Centre uses technology as a catalyst and enabler in solving social problems in predominantly low income/rural areas. The principal beneficiaries of Darelle's work are disadvantaged communities. Throughout her career she has worked with people that experience the daily challenges associated with lack of access to technology and by extension, the services that technology connects us to. As a result, she's critically aware of the needs and the gaps that exist. Evidence of the impact of the work that Prof. van Greunen conducts is to be found in the research funding that she has managed to attract as well as the awards that she has received in the last few years in recognition of her research.
