Dumont d'Urville: New Zealand / France Science & Technology Support Programme
The Minister of Research, Science and Technology has allocated funding of $60,000 per annum to the "Dumont d’Urville Programme" through the International Science and Technology (ISAT) Linkages Fund. The name of the programme acknowledges the substantial scientific contribution made by the expeditions to New Zealand by Dumont d’Urville in the early 19th Century.
This programme promotes and supports scientific and technological cooperation between New Zealand and French researchers. The arrangement is aimed at the public, non-government and private sectors in the fields of biotechnology and nanosciences.
