  • Otago strengthens its engagement with China

    The agreement with Nanjing Medical University will see increased engagement between the two institutions in research as well as staff and student mobility, starting with a Nanjing Medical University delegation visiting the University of Otago later this year.

    University of Otago, Deputy Vice-Chancellor – External Engagement, Professor Helen Nicholson said Nanjing Medical University was a well-respected and internationally recognised institution.

    “We are looking forward to building strong academic, research and mobility links with them, with a focus on pharmacy and the wider health sciences.” 

    Professor Nicholson and Director International, Jason Cushen, travelled as part of the Dunedin City mayoral delegation to mark the 25th anniversary of Dunedin’s sister city relationship with Shanghai, as well as to hold alumni events in Shanghai and Beijing to celebrate the university’s 150th anniversary.

    The Shanghai visit involved the University of Otago and Dunedin City in a number of events including a meeting with the Mayor of Shanghai on 15 July, a formal Shanghai City welcome banquet, and meetings with key education institution partners including Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of Shanghai.  

    “We marked these important milestones and honoured our sister-city relationship with a number of events held in conjunction with the mayoral delegation. The strong relationship between the University of Otago and the City of Dunedin is an important factor in the University’s engagement with Shanghai and greater China,” said Professor Nicholson.

  • New Zealand students join Sustainability Challenge

    Each team had two participants from India and one New Zealand student who, under the guidance of an Indian expert, worked together to identify and solve a sustainability challenge found on Indian campuses.

    The winning team from Manipal Institute of Technology won for their project on “Sustainable Lifestyle,” with each student receiving an all-expenses paid internship for three weeks at the University of Canterbury, University of Otago and University of Waikato. 

    The NZISC was hosted by ENZ in association with New Zealand universities, and with sustainability peak body The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) as knowledge partner.

    ENZ’s Country Manager for India, Jugnu Roy, said the NZISC was designed to showcase independent thinking and encourage cross-cultural teamwork and mentorship.

    “Having Kiwis involved in the project was a great way for Indian students to see first-hand the practical and inquiry-based style of learning that New Zealand instils in students, which is particularly important in science and technology disciplines.

    “The top six teams beat out 90 others in the earlier rounds of the competition and in the finale showcased their work. Projects included an innovative health platform to store vaccination data of children; using biomass as an alternative to firewood; and using garbage to create electricity.

    “These students represent the kind of talent we want to attract to New Zealand.”
