The way research creates impact in Aotearoa New Zealand is evolving. There is currently a Science System Advisory Group (SSAG) <\/a>reviewing our science & research sector, and recommending changes to the government. The first SSAG Report<\/a> highlights a future where research is expected to deliver real-world benefits\u2014whether through industry collaboration, commercialisation, or community impact. This shift will affect AUT researchers at all levels, including PG students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what does this mean for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers preparing to work in Aotearoa are likely to need a greater focus on innovation and impact than ever before. There is a growing expectation that researchers excel not only in doing <\/em>the research, but also in taking it further: communicating, applying, and implementing the research as well. Research is no longer seen as something that lives only in the lab or office, or in a publication. It’s out in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to explore commercial opportunities, access funding, or simply understand how these changes could shape your future, AUT Ventures is here to help.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe innovation landscape is shifting, and we\u2019re evolving with it. We\u2019re committed to giving AUT researchers the tools, funding, and support they need to turn ideas into impact.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\u2013 Michael Fielding, Chief Executive, AUT Ventures<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n
