Research Partnerships

We're proud to work collaboratively with organisations in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty Regions, across Aotearoa, and internationally. We strive to develop long-term relationships that are founded on mutual respect, resulting genuine research partnerships that benefit all involved.

Check out our national research partners that are listed below, which correspond to some of the local councils, businesses and research institutes that we are currently working with.

All of our researchers have strong international profiles, working with some of the very best universities in the world. As such, there are too many international collaborations that we could show, so instead we've listed the twenty universities that we've published the most with over the past three years.
