Investment in growing academic mobility with South America
ENZ invites proposals for new research
ENZ and Brazil’s São Paulo Research Foundation (Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo – FAPESP) are jointly funding new research projects to encourage academic cooperation and mobility between our countries.
Each is contributing $100,000 to enable eight or more established academic researchers across all fields, to conduct research in the other’s country. The first year of the funding agreement will act as a pilot.
FAPESP is a public foundation with a mission to support research projects in higher education and research institutions, in all fields of knowledge.
As part of the agreement with FAPESP, successful applicants from New Zealand will develop their projects in cooperation with researchers in Brazil. The researchers will then travel to Brazil to undertake the research with their partners. Brazilian researchers will be funded to come across to New Zealand in turn.
ENZ General Manager International, Lisa Futschek, says the funding collaboration will create opportunities for New Zealand researchers that did not exist before.
“South America is a key market for Education New Zealand – particularly in relation to outbound academic mobility. This new funding collaboration showcases ENZ's commitment to creating new pathways for New Zealand institutions with South America."
This announcement builds on years of relationship-building, and an agreement with Universities New Zealand (UNZ) in November 2016 to enhance cooperation, enable academic mobility and encourage the exchange of knowledge between participating higher education institutions.
ENZ Senior Market Development Manager – Brazil, Ana Azevedo, says: “The professors and researchers that will be involved in these research projects will have the opportunity to play a vital part in driving this relationship forward. They will be ambassadors for their university and New Zealand.”
Applications for funding are open now and close on 27 January 2020.

Universities explore deepening 'south-to-south' connection with delegation
This October, senior academics and researchers from all eight New Zealand universities took part in a 10-day visit to Colombia and Brazil. The delegates explored options to collaborate in new areas such as pharmaceutical sciences and build on previous historical collaboration in areas such as agri-business.
In Colombia, the delegation were part of the official New Zealand presence at Conference of the Americas on International Education (CAIE-CAEI).
“At CAIE-CAEI, members of the delegation spoke on a panel to highlight areas of ‘south to south’ academic collaboration between Latin American and New Zealand universities,” says ENZ Regional Director – Americas and Europe, Amy Rutherford.
In Brazil, the delegation met with the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (“Fiocruz”), the most prominent health-focused science and technology institute in Latin America.
They also visited the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and São Paulo State University (UNESP). At UNESP, the programme included meetings with Brazilian academics from universities across the country, including the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), the Federal University of Parana (UFPR), the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), and the University of São Paulo (USP).
In both Colombia and Brazil, the delegations participated in ‘Innovation and Education in New Zealand’ seminars for students, where they met with undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in studying in New Zealand. These seminars were co-hosted by members of the Universities New Zealand (UNZ) Latin America Elite Agent programme.
“I was pleased to see the high calibre of the New Zealand, Colombian and Brazilian academics and researchers who came together during the 10-day programme," Rutherford says. "The future of New Zealand-Colombia and New Zealand-Brazil academic and research collaboration looks bright!”

Tokyo fair sparks excitement around New Zealand study opportunities
Earlier this month, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) delivered a two-day event in Tokyo that brought New Zealand education to the forefront for Japanese students, families, and education agents.
The ENZ Fair attracted around 600 prospective students and their parents, while more than 150 education agents attended the seminar. The strong turnout and enthusiastic engagement reflected growing interest in New Zealand as a study destination.
A total of 62 New Zealand education providers took part, representing schools, universities, English language institutions, private training establishments (PTEs), and New Te Pūkenga New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (Te Pūkenga) providers.
The school sector led the charge, with 52 providers represented, highlighting the increasing demand for secondary education pathways.

Attendees heard from inspiring guest speakers who shared personal stories and connections to New Zealand. Fumiaki Tanaka, a former Japan national rugby player and the first Japanese athlete to play Super Rugby with New Zealand’s Highlanders, spoke about his journey as an international student. Yukiko Chiba, Executive Officer and Director at Sekai Bunka Publishing, offered a parent’s perspective, reflecting on her child’s life-changing experience studying at a New Zealand high school.
Agent seminar
At the agent seminar, ENZ provided a New Zealand market update with the latest information, guidance and promotional materials.
The seminar also included a session focused on building long-term relationships between New Zealand and Japanese institutions. Headon John Paul, who represents the Oceania region for Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School, and Ritsu Hidume, a New Zealand alumni now studying at Ritsumeikan Uji, shared their insights and advice with New Zealand education providers.
A roundtable discussion with four education agents and members of the Japan Association of Overseas Studies (JAOS) explored how agents support New Zealand education, current trends in the study abroad market, and opportunities to strengthen collaboration.
ENZ Senior Market Develop Manager Takako Tominaga said the feedback from New Zealand providers was overwhelmingly positive.
“We were really pleased to hear that New Zealand providers were impressed by the quality of the agents who attended, and that Japanese families showed genuine enthusiasm and interest in learning more about studying in New Zealand.”

Letter from the CE: Navigating our changing world
A huge thank you to all those who joined us in Auckland for 2019’s NZIEC. The conference was filled with fascinating presentations, promising new connections and enlightening discussions. It was, however, the collaborative spirit, warm reception and energy of those who attended and presented that made this year’s conference our best yet.
Like many sectors, we are now operating in a state of constant change in terms of students’ needs and wants – and the challenges and opportunities that stem from this was a focus of discussion across the three days of events. NZIEC’s keynote speakers – Guy Ryan, Dr Lisa Coleman, and Professor Chris Gallavin – presented an impressive range of perspectives and ideas across areas including youth leadership and the role of global connectedness, inclusion and diversity, and the value of working together across different sub-sectors.
Our environment is also changing. NZIEC 2019 followed an announcement by Minister of Education, Chris Hipkins, about reforms for vocational education in New Zealand. The reforms are intended to ensure the vocational education sector continues to be globally relevant as the nature of work and the skills required in the workplace shifts. Seven key changes will be made, the major one being the establishment of a single public network of vocational training institutes. For more information on the Reform of Vocational Education, click here.
I would like to reiterate the Minister’s reassurance that the changes will be introduced gradually over several years. International students can continue to enrol here with confidence, knowing we are in the process of making their education experience even better. At ENZ we are looking at the opportunities a strong national identity for New Zealand’s vocational training presents offshore.
Lastly, the conference was a chance to acknowledge our strong education relationship with Japan, our country of honour. The nation is the third-largest student source country for New Zealand’s international sector. In 2017, for example, we had 10,272 Japanese students study here. I am confident this relationship will continue to deepen with lots of activity planned in the year ahead.
I hope you enjoy reading this special NZIEC edition of E-News.
Ngā mihi,
Grant
