For many New Zealand researchers the inclusion of a period of work in Europe is common, with the expectation that such a stay will develop their international standing and the peer linkages required to support a career back in New Zealand.
Whether expatriate researchers intend to return or not, the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST) wishes to build and maintain links with these researchers.
The wider Diaspora research project, which also looks at European researchers in New Zealand, will be presented to the European Commission and MoRST in order to:
stimulate policy dialogue;
attempt to network more effectively with both the European and New Zealand research Diasporas and, in turn;
enhance New Zealand-EU research collaboration
If you are a New Zealand researcher based in Europe, or if you know someone who is, pleasecontact us.
This will enable us to invite you to participate in our New Zealand Research Diaspora survey once it is launched.
