  • Empowering early career scientists through New Zealand-Germany research collaboration

    The third funding round of the New Zealand-German academic exchange programme, known as the Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP programme), has enabled five New Zealand research projects to undertake research with academic partners from Germany.

    The following universities have formed partnerships:

    • University of Auckland and University of Paderborn
      Topic: Preparing students for a data science future using innovative teaching  

    • University of Auckland and the Technical University of Dortmund
      Topic: The development of contextual visual processing in the Ebbinghaus: illusion in children and its underlying neuronal basis (EBBI-KIDS) 

    • University of Auckland and University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf
      Topic: Perspectives of equitable medical education: a comparison between Aotearoa New Zealand and Germany

    • University of Canterbury and Westcoast University of Applied Sciences
      Topic: Younger generations as reflexive agents of change: Motivating Generation (Gen) Z to participate in the voluntary sector

    • University of Otago and Helmholtz Munich
      Topic: Modulation of central GIPR signalling to increase health during ageing

    The programme invited researchers to think of a project that would particularly benefit from working with German academic counterparts. Research projects will run from 2025 to 2026, with work taking place in both New Zealand and Germany. 

    Acting Regional Director, Americas & Europe, Natalie Lulia, said the programme aims to strengthen the relationships between New Zealand and German academics and institutions.   

    “It opens up New Zealand researchers to a global network of academics.  

    “Since the programme’s beginning, we’ve seen awardees think forward and explore possibilities of further collaboration with their research partners” she said. 

    The PPP programme was established in 2021, when ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding.   

    The bilateral agreement between ENZ and the DAAD enables young academics to further their careers and expand their international research links. ENZ contributes funding to support New Zealand researchers, while the DAAD supports German researchers to travel to New Zealand.

  • Survey shows that New Zealand is among top destinations for Brazilians who study abroad

    Belta’s annual survey, sponsored by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), was conducted between December 2022 and April 2023 with 763 students and 317 international education agents from all regions of Brazil surveyed to assess their perceptions of international education. The survey results were shared at a recent event in Sao Paolo with dozens of agents and media attending, in person and virtually, to hear about the survey’s latest findings.  

    ENZ’s Market Development Manager in Brazil, Bruna de Natale, delivered a short speech ahead of the results release. She said it was positive to see so much interest in the release of the survey results, especially when the results revealed that New Zealand continues to rank strongly as an international education destination amongst Brazilian students. 

    “In this most recent survey, New Zealand moved to seventh position on the list of top education destinations sought by Brazilians who studied abroad, compared to before the Covid-19 pandemic when it was in eighth place. The main reason driving country choice for the students surveyed is the quality of life – New Zealand ranks very well for the quality of life, education, and the protection of civil rights.  

    “The quality of teaching is another reason given by those surveyed when choosing New Zealand and 60% of participants rated the quality of our English schools and language programmes as good or excellent. It is fantastic to see that New Zealand continues to attract attention as a quality international education destination and it is certainly on the radar as a desired destination for future exchange students,” said Bruna. 

    Of the international education agents who were surveyed, 52.9% reported that the demand for students interested in New Zealand has remained stable since the borders reopened, while 20.6% recorded growth in interest. This group projects that the numbers of Brazilian students travelling to New Zealand will return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 and 2024, with the highest flows expected for the first (35.3%) and second quarters of 2024 (32.4%), with demand increasing gradually from the first quarter of 2023.
