MBIE and the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) have announced eight collaborative projects under the NZ-DLR Joint Research Programme.

MBIE's 2017 Partnerships Scheme Investment Round will see five new sector-led research partnerships receive funding of up to $25.7 million over the next seven years.

We work closely with a number of agencies to promote science and innovation in New Zealand. Together, we seek strong links between the science and innovation sector and overseas research interests, as well as with New Zealand businesses and the wider public.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE), Australian Research Council (ARC), Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Statistics New Zealand (Stats NZ) have now completed the review of the ANZSRC.

The Regional Research Institute (RRI) initiative established new, independently governed, private or private not-for-profit regional research institutes.

All essential documents can be found in the table below.

We are currently reviewing the Government’s investment in scientific collections and databases to ensure an efficient and enduring funding model.

In 2018 a mid-way review of the National Science Challenges concluded with the Science Board agreeing to fund all 11 National Science Challenges at the maximum funding amount. This amount was set by Cabinet in 2013 for 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2024, and brings the total investment to $680.8 million.
