New Zealand's research, science and technology priorities: feedback document

Download Attachment:

The government is currently setting priorities for research, science and technology and is seeking feedback from the sector.

This document seeks your comments on the government’s proposed investment structure, the balance between investment areas and on the areas in which it is proposed research platforms might be established.

MoRST is requesting feedback by 18 November 2009 at the latest. Feedback can be submitted by emailing feedback@morst.govt.nz. It will not be possible to take into account comments received after this date.

For printed copies of the feedback document, please email ros.gilliver@morst.govt.nz, or call 04 917 2900.

Priority setting will help meet the goal of increasing the contribution RS&T make to improved economic performance. The government will be considering two other issues in this context. These are:

  • How the CRI model can operate more effectively to support New Zealand’s development. A Taskforce is being set up and will report to the Ministers of Finance and RS&T as shareholding Ministers.
  • Ways to improve and encourage business R&D and how research organisations such as universities and CRIs can work more closely with business.

Given the strong links between these streams of work, the government is looking to make decisions in all three areas in December.
