Logo

SOLPO Research is committed to legal research and programmes that facilitate economic growth, environmental protection and social progress. Our logo is a visual expression of that commitment.

SOLPO Research’s impact cuts across industries and influences urban and rural development. Our work helps to improve the lives of the people who populate the landscape as well as preserve that very landscape. This intersectionality is depicted in the mesh of overlapping lines that ultimately form a lotus flower.

The lotus flower signifies knowledge, learning, wisdom, discretion, prosperity, progress and evolution. We strive to bring these attributes to society at large through our legal research and academic work. We aspire to create a rich knowledge-base that will contribute towards economic, environmental and social progress.
