Panel will be created soon to make recommendations, but concerns are raised about consultation process
New Zealand’s new national research priorities are to be “mission-based” and treated as government investment portfolios.
A panel to draft the priorities is expected to be announced within weeks. It will “consider analysis and advice from a cross-agency working group with input from various stakeholders, including government agencies, sector experts, international and futures experts, industry and Māori representatives,” the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment said on 7 July.
