• Second round of German academic exchange funding programme launching in April

  ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will launch the second round of the German academic exchange funding programme on 5 April after the programme’s successful first round.

  Funding will be available to researchers at higher education institutions in Germany and New Zealand. ENZ will fund early-career academics from New Zealand universities and Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology to travel to Germany, specifically students who are close to completing their PhD and academics who completed their PhD in the last five years.

  With the objective of growing the number of applications in 2023, ENZ has decided to move to a model of providing funding up to NZ$12,500 per year for up to two years, without the need for applicants to show any other sources of funding.

  The German academic exchange programme is the result of the signing of a Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP) arrangement between ENZ and DAAD in November 2021 to strengthen academic relations between New Zealand and Germany and promote complementary research activities.

  ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said the programme had done much to grow academic collaboration between New Zealand and Germany through the partnership with DAAD, which is the world’s largest funding organisation for the international exchange of students and researchers.

  “We are pleased with the success of the first round of the programme and are looking forward to seeing more applications for the second round launching in April.

  “As an incentive to encourage more participation, applicants are no longer required to show any other sources of funding,” Stoye said.

  Ahead of the programme’s launch, ENZ has organised an online information session on Tuesday 4 April at 7pm NZT (9 am CEST).

  You can register to take part in the information session on 4 April here.

  If you have any questions, please contact ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye on adina.stoye@enz.govt.nz. 

• We’re Always On

  Having a continual in-market presence that actively promotes New Zealand’s attributes as a study destination boosts our chances of prospective students including New Zealand in their consideration set.

  The objective of the 'Always On' activity is to drive prospective students (and parents of students) to targeted content landing pages on studyinnewzealand.com.  The goal of the landing pages is for these students to register their details to find out more about studying in New Zealand either through an Education New Zealand Recognised Agency (ENZRA) or directly with an institution.  The other objective of the activity is to deliver the New Zealand education brand proposition, ‘Think New’, in a way that will resonate with our target audience and see them consider New Zealand as a valid study option.

  We’re currently live in India, China, Malaysia and Viet Nam, and will go live very soon in Thailand and Indonesia.  For each country we’re creating ‘’home’’ pages

  (e.g. India), sector-specific pages (e.g. universities) and, coming soon, programme-specific pages (e.g. engineering).

  All pages will be in the local language.  

  

• Teaching the world about New Zealand

  To better market New Zealand as a study destination, we’ve added hundreds of high-resolution images, videos, infographics and case studies to the New Zealand Story toolkit.  

  What is the New Zealand story?

  New Zealand Story is an initiative that brings together expertise from the private sector and Government agencies, including NZTE, Tourism New Zealand, Education New Zealand (ENZ) and more. Our purpose is to help define the things that make us unique as a country and give us a framework to share our New Zealand story with the world. Our toolkit is a big part of this. The New Zealand Story business toolkit resources are consistent with and support the resources available to you in ENZ’s Brand Lab.  

  How the toolkit can help

  When people choose to study overseas, they leave behind their friends, their family and their comfort zone. So when deciding on a place to go, they’ll want somewhere that’s not only tolerant of foreigners, but welcoming and friendly. The toolkit is packed with resources that highlight our open hearts and open minds.

  Chances are they’ll also be keen to experience a new culture and way of life. There’s nowhere quite like New Zealand for a unique cultural experience, and again, the toolkit has a huge range of images, videos and case studies that showcase our open spaces and can connect your brand with our country’s great lifestyle and rich culture.

  Lastly, it’s important to remember that they’re coming to study. New Zealand is world-class in many areas, including sports, tourism and education. Combine that with our reputation for creativity, innovation and ingenuity and we really are an ideal destination for those looking to kick start their career. Our toolkit features more than just pretty landscapes – it’s also packed with resources that highlight our expertise in these areas.  

  Craft your own New Zealand story

  Stories bring ideas to life in a way that makes them both memorable and shareable. And whether you’re a school, a tertiary institution or another education provider altogether, that’s exactly what you need to stand out from the crowd. The toolkit can help you tell your story in an engaging and compelling way.  

  Go check it out

  Register at nzstory.govt.nz for free access to all of the assets in our toolkit. You can also subscribe to the New Zealand Story newsletter to keep up-to-date with new content, research and case studies.

• eVisas and VisaView coming soon

  From 7 December, eVisas (passport-free applications and label-less visas) will be available for many students who apply online, joining the one thousand applicants who are applying for visas electronically every week through Immigration ONLINE.

  At the same time, New Zealand education providers will become able to use Immigration New Zealand’s VisaView service to check whether a non-New Zealand student can study with them.

  eVisas

  INZ will extend eVisas to the following online applicants:

  • People applying in New Zealand to renew their Work, Visitor and Student visas (except Chinese nationals)*

  • People from visa-waiver countries applying outside New Zealand for a Work, Visitor or Student visa (citizens of visa-waiver countries do not need a visa to travel to New Zealand as a tourist for less than three months).

  These applicants will not have to send in their passports to INZ when they submit their applications online. The visa holder will receive their visa approval notification through their Immigration ONLINE account, and may print their visa record from their account. This notification contains visa details, including travel and other visa conditions.

  Visa holders are advised to carry their visa approval notification when they travel. Online systems allow airlines to confirm that a person can travel to New Zealand, but the visa approval notification can be used as an additional confirmation if requested.

  Further information about eVisas is available at www.immigration.govt.nz/eVisas

  Visa transfer to new passports

  Because visa details are linked to passports, people who obtain a new passport after being granted their visa need to transfer their visa details to their new passport. There is potentially a greater risk with eVisas that visa holders may neglect to transfer visa details to their new passports. For explanation of how to transfer visa details, see here. 

  VisaView

  VisaView is an online visa enquiry system that is being extended to education providers from 7 December 2015. It will enable providers to check whether a non-New Zealand citizen can study with them.

  VisaView is currently used by employers to check migrants’ eligibility to work in New Zealand.

  What happens next?

  We will email education providers when VisaView is launched, with a link inviting them to register for a VisaView account. A detailed user guide will be available.

  There will be some opportunities for education providers to attend face to face training sessions in a few centres during December and early February.

  * INZ is liaising with Chinese authorities and plans to implement eVisas for Chinese nationals during 2016.

• Say hello to the new, improved Brand Lab

  Over the past quarter, ENZ's marketing team has been developing a new and improved Brand Lab system – due to go live tomorrow, Thursday 11 May. 

  ENZ Content Marketing Project Manager, Laura Lingard, said the site has many new features, all of which are much more user-friendly than the previous Brand Lab.

  “The new site has been designed with the user front of mind, even giving guidance around the different types of assets and how these can be used to promote the benefits of a New Zealand education,” said Laura.

  The new Brand Lab also has improved search functionality to make it easier for users to find what they’re looking for – as well as a suite of new assets including translated videos and artwork. 

  “The Brand Lab is a useful resource for providers to promote their individual education offering, and it’s also a way for the sector to work together to build a consistent brand story about New Zealand ,” said Laura.

  What’s new about the Brand Lab?

  • New range of videos (across different markets and languages)

  • New range of brand imagery and stories (Think New)

  • New range of university imagery

  • 30 new student stories (case studies)

  • New infographics (for social media)

  • Translated sector stories

  • Users can download low resolution or high resolution versions of images, and preview videos before downloading

  • Users can share assets between users and send assets to non-users

  • Users have increased access to a wider range of assets without needing to request permission 

  All current Brand Lab users will be sent an invitation to the new site on Thursday 11 May – you will need to re-register due to the system being completely new. Please take the time to complete your registration (it’s quick!) so that you can access the new site.

  If you can’t wait until tomorrow (we know how eager you must be to take a look!) you can sign up now by going to thebrandlab.enz.govt.nz

• Meet Up at NZIEC

  Meet Up sessions are informal opportunities to connect with delegates during the networking breaks on particular issues or topics.

  How do they work? Simply suggest a topic or topics you’d like to discuss. We’ll collate the responses and coordinate the Meet Up topics and times. It will be over to you to strike up the connections and the conversations.

  If you have a burning topic you’d like to talk to others about, let us know. Perhaps it’s homestay management, using technology in back of house operations or you’re in a sole charge position and want to connect with colleagues in a similar situation.
  
  Whatever the topic, just let us know and we’ll do our best to include it.

  We’ll publish a list of Meet Up sessions through the Conference App when it is launched next week.

  Email your Meet Up topic suggestions to nziec@verve.co.nz

  Please note: Registration closes on Friday 11 August. If you have not yet registered for NZIEC, please secure your place as soon as possible by visiting the NZIEC website.
