ACCESS4EU:NZ - Opportunities for European Researchers to access New Zealand's Research System
The expected impact of ACCESS4EU activities will focus around increasing science and technology cooperation between Europe and New Zealand by identifying opportunities for European researchers to participate in New Zealand based research initiatives. The focus of the project will be on building opportunities for researchers to increase their collaboration through a series of meetings, developing research synergies and participation within existing funding initiatives. Additionally, base line and review research will be combined with policy recommendations and be made available for policy makers in the hope that it offers support for increased funding programmes. In order to identify opportunities for access of European researchers, the ACCESS4EU:NZ project will: • Outline the scope of NZ’s publicly-funded research and innovation programmes, and their rules for European participation, with a view to making information on these programmes more accessible to a European audience. • Develop a picture of NZ’s capability landscape, with a view to helping European researchers identify synergistic opportunities for EU-NZ collaboration in NZ’s schemes • Provide a Europe-focused web interface to allow researchers to have free and simple access to the information on programmes and opportunities in NZ • Present NZ’s programmes, and opportunities for collaboration, to a wide audience of European researchers through various fora, including through the preparation of standard training materials for presentation to - and by - information multipliers and other relevant, interested parties.
