  • Summer in Aotearoa New Zealand – Explore, have fun and stay safe!

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) is supporting students to explore New Zealand this summer with an emphasis on staying safe during their holiday break.  

    NauMai NZ has dedicated pages on outdoor safety,  water safety, road safety and the New Zealand climate, supporting students to prepare for their activities over the summer. NauMai NZ also has information on the cities and regions of New Zealand, along with recommendations of things to do and see and how to get there. 

    ENZ reminds students to keep themselves safe from scams. If students have lost money in a scam or have been the victim of an online scam where threats have been made against them, they can contact the NZ Police who are here to help. Phone 105 or report online. 

    Summer is a great opportunity to take a break from study and find time to relax and explore our beautiful country. There is plenty to see and do in New Zealand but students can also take steps to stay safe, wherever they are and whatever they are doing. NauMai NZ is here to help them. 

    Happy summer holidays! 

  • ENZ calls for funding proposals for New Zealand-China research partnerships

    Funding proposals are due by 1 March 2024. Download the New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Fund 2024 Guidance and Call for Proposals and the Proposal Form.  Send your completed proposal as a PDF, and any questions, to china@enz.govt.nz.  


    The New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Fund 2024 offers funding of up to NZD 20,000-30,000 including GST for each partnership project, with the call for proposals open until 1 March 2024.     

    The fund supports new or existing research partnerships between New Zealand and Chinese universities. There are usually three universities involved – two from China and one from New Zealand. 

    The Tripartite Partnership Fund, administered by ENZ, has a pool of up to NZD 100,000 in 2024 for research partnerships in the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and applied sciences. Designed to encourage strategic academic relationships, the fund focuses on fostering relationships and the development of the partnership rather than funding the research itself. 

    The Tripartite Partnership Fund is a key piece of education cooperation between New Zealand and China. Projects under the fund have enjoyed a high level of visibility and attention in both New Zealand and China. For example, the Tripartite Partnership and its projects were highlighted during the visit to New Zealand by China’s Minister of Education H.E. Huai Jinpeng in August 2023.  

    Lisa Futschek, General Manager International, is encouraged by the interim reports of the current Tripartite Partnership Fund recipients and their accounts of travel to China to reconnect and work with their partners this year following the pandemic.  

    “It is great to see the reciprocal exchanges between New Zealand and Chinese research partners thriving with mobility between the partners leading to promising research outputs,” Ms Futschek said. 

    Established in 2005, the Tripartite Research Partnership is a valued part of the New Zealand – China bilateral education relationship and we welcome proposals from researchers to join the growing list of funding recipients. 

    Funding proposals are due by 1 March 2024. Download the New Zealand-China Tripartite Partnership Fund 2024 Guidance and Call for Proposals and the Proposal Form.  Send your completed proposal as a PDF, and any questions, to china@enz.govt.nz.

  • Our values

    Blocks in different shades of blue with one value in each box: Be one, Manaakitanga, Kaitiakitanga, Be bold, Aroha

     

    Our work is guided by Ngā Manapou – our values of manaakitanga, kaitiakitanga, be one and be bold that are all encompassed by aroha.

     

    Manaakitanga

    Manaakitanga refers to hospitality, kindness, generosity, or support as much as it does to the process of showing that respect, generosity or care for others.

    Kaitiakitanga

    Kaitiakitanga refers to guardianship, stewardship or trusteeship as we look after the environment and resources. At Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao we treasure cultural diversity, focus on finding sustainable solutions and remain open to new perspectives and ideas.

    Be one

    We interact positively with our colleagues to enhance our collective mana. We partner with generosity and appreciation. We work collaboratively and constructively. We appreciate effective teamwork.

    Be bold

    We consult genuinely before making decisions. We constantly challenge what’s gone before and shape what’s coming. We develop powerful relationships with our partners.

    Aroha

    Aroha – meaning love, affection, or compassion – guides and underpins all Ngā Manapou as we strive to think and act constructively, listen respectfully and value the beliefs and culture of all our staff.

    The scholarships offer flexible funding to support both short- and long-term programmes, including study abroad or exchange, internships, postgraduate study, and language programmes.    

    The Prime Minister’s Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
