  • 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.

    • Interactive events are an engaging way to generate interest and enthusiasm from students

    ENZ hosted The Kiwi Quotient (KQ) at the Symbiosis International University (SIU) campus in Pune, one of the most prestigious private universities in India.

    ENZ’s Country Manager for India, Jugnu Roy, said New Zealand is an increasingly popular destination for high-quality international students.

    “We’ve seen a 44 percent increase in Indian student enrolments in New Zealand universities for the first three months of 2017 compared to last year, and India is New Zealand’s second-biggest source country for international students.

    “Highlighting New Zealand’s specialised courses and overall education quality will hopefully see this growth continue.”

    KQ drew roughly 500 high-calibre students to the event, alongside key influential media, by highlighting two things beloved by India – cricket and Bollywood.

    Bollywood star Soha Ali Khan (alma mater Oxford University and London School of Economics) joined former New Zealand cricket captain and ENZ Brand Ambassador, Stephen Fleming, for an inspiring panel discussion on international education. They then took part in a quiz show, picking students from the audience to compete against each other in teams, answering New Zealand-themed questions.

    The event received significant media coverage and also created opportunities for New Zealand providers to partner with SIU to develop pathway programmes, particularly for specialist fields such as sports science, sports management and media. ENZ is currently following up.

    ENZRA Fair

    Following the KQ, ENZ supported four education fairs with Education New Zealand Recognised Agencies (ENZRA). This is the first year ENZ’s fair programme is being delivered exclusively through ENZRA partners, as it’s a cost-effective way of expanding New Zealand’s presence across key Indian markets.

    The April series showcased more than 25 New Zealand institutions, including all eight New Zealand universities.

    The 2016 fair series achieved enrolments worth $4.5 million economic value to date – so ENZ India are looking forward to seeing what the 2017 fair outcomes are.
