Our Research Community
The Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor, Kaitohutohu Mātanga Pūtaiao Matua ki te Pirimia, often relies on respected colleagues, and a community of scientists and researchers, to produce reports and advice. In order to ensure that that advice, and those panel of advisors, comes from all parts of the science, research and technology system, the office maintains a list of contacts who can help connect Juliet and the office to that community.
Below is our list of contacts from the New Zealand research community, and their institutions. It is not exhaustive nor complete. If your institution is not on this list, please contact institutional research leaders and encourage them to contact us.
If there is a call for panellists to assist in a project, individual researchers should contact their institutional contact in the first instance.
