  • Funding available for science projects with leading Indian institution

    A total of USD100,000 in seed funding is available for joint research projects with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), under a programme facilitated by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao. Applications open on 1 February 2022 and close on 1 March 2022. 

    The funding is administered by the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi, which has been set up to help researchers to collaborate, host visiting scientists and act as a forum for diplomatic and trade dialogue. 

    A virtual summit in late 2021 organised by ENZ attracted more than 100 participants from IIT Delhi and all eight New Zealand universities to explore opportunities for collaboration.  

    The summit was led by the University of Auckland’s Director International, Brett Berquist and IIT Delhi’s Dean of Research and Development, Professor Naveen Garg. They were joined by the High Commissioners from both countries. 

    ENZ’s Country Manager for India, Jugnu Roy, says the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi is a major contribution to ENZ’s strategy for building New Zealand’s academic reputation internationally.  

    “Academic cooperation with a key market like India, helps to enhance New Zealand’s output of joint research projects with leading institutions. 

    “It is an opportunity to sustain and increase the visibility of New Zealand universities, as well as their connections and rankings. 

    “We are delighted at the way the virtual summit has kickstarted the research conversations,” she said. 

    The memorandum of understanding setting up the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi was signed between all eight New Zealand universities and IIT Delhi in February 2020.  It is the second such research centre – the other is the New Zealand Centre at Peking University in Beijing, China.

  • High level of interest in PM's Scholarships

    “We’re particularly pleased in the level of interest, given outbound mobility has been paused since March 2020,” says ENZ’s Global Citizenship Manager Carla Rey Vasquez.  

    “Since the Prime Minister’s Scholarships reopened earlier this year, we’ve also tried hard to reach a wider range of people than previously. 

    “In this latest round, 17 percent of applicants are Māori while the age range is from 18 to 66 years old. We want to continue achieving greater diversity and inclusion, so that a wider range of people can have an international education experience, and the opportunity to develop their global citizenship skills and learn more about the language and culture of partner countries.”  

    The majority of applications (110) were for Prime Minister’s Scholarships to Asia, with South Korea the most popular destination country. Prime Minister’s Scholarships to Latin America received 55 applications, and the top destination country is Colombia.  

    An extra step in selecting the final recipients has been introduced this year. If they are shortlisted, applicants will be given 10 days to respond to four additional questions seeking more detailed information about their proposed programme.  

    Completed applications will then be considered by the selection panel, which is due to meet in late October.   

    The current Prime Minister’s Scholarships round is for individual applicants, following the first round that awarded scholarships to 30 groups in July.
