  • Update on New Zealand-China Tripartite Fund 2020

    As previously advertised, the deadline for applications is 1 March 2020, with a project start date of 1 May 2020, and end date of 30 April 2021.

    Education New Zealand will provides updates on this as necessary.

    Since its inception in 2005, the Tripartite Fund has supported the development of strategic research relationships between New Zealand and China.

    Universities are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $30,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and facilitate the development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese partner universities. 

    Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects can be drawn from the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and applied sciences including agriculture, food safety, conservation, forestry, advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

    Since 2009, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has worked on tripartite collaborative projects with Shanghai Jiao-Tong University (SJTU) and Xinjiang University in China.

    AUT Professor of Computer Science and Director KEDRI, Nikola Kasabov, said that the ‘three brothers’ partners have exchanged multiple visits of both staff members and students.

    “The outcomes have been outstanding, including a large number of joint papers published in international journals and conferences, joint methods and software development in computational intelligence and applications in health, environment protection, and predicting hazardous events.”

    Professor Kasabov was also appointed as Advisory Professor to SJTU, meeting with PhD students and staff on an annual basis.

    “The collaboration helps staff and students to work together on new frontiers of information and computer sciences and technologies along with important applications for both countries.”

    To apply, complete this application form and submit it to china@enz.govt.nz. Any queries can also be sent to this address.

  • Malaysian students and NZ universities strengthen ties in series of education events

    From 13 to 20 May, the Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) team in Malaysia supported a series of international education events across the country. The activities were co-funded with education agencies and were organised to raise awareness of the quality of New Zealand’s universities and the breadth of education opportunities for Malaysian students.

    The initiative kicked-off with a series of education fairs held at MARA Colleges in Kuala Lumpur, Ledang, and Lenggong from 13 to 16 May. MARA (Majlis Amanah Rakyat) is the Malaysian Government Scholarship Provider and supports Malaysian students to pursue higher education at home or abroad. At these fairs, ENZ and participating New Zealand universities partnered with IDP to engage with diploma students from MARA who are looking to continue their bachelor's degrees overseas.

    ENZ followed this event by co-hosting another education fair in Kuala Lumpur with AECC Global Malaysia from 17 to 19 May. This event attracted approximately 100 enthusiastic students interested in pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at New Zealand universities.

    Prospective international students from East Malaysia were then offered the opportunity to learn more about studying in New Zealand at an information session in Kuching from 19 to 20 May. This session was held in collaboration with the city's leading education agency, MMS, and gave students valuable insights into New Zealand's academic landscape, empowering them with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their future education.

    ENZ’s Regional Director, Asia (excluding China) and Acting General Manager of International, Ben Burrowes, highlighted the importance of conducting such events in Malaysia. 

    “Running student recruitment activities like these in Malaysia are a core part of ENZ’s strategy to promote diversity within New Zealand’s international student community.  

    “They also serve to foster cultural exchange and mutual growth, strengthening the enduring ties between our nations that were originally established through the Colombo Plan,” said Ben.  

    ENZ’s Market Manager for Indonesia and Malaysia, Naluri Bella, added that it was positive to see so much interest in learning more about studying in New Zealand from students right across the country.  

    “In an effort to broaden the reach of our recruitment efforts, ENZ and agents also connected with international schools in Malaysia. Our PR activity also gained traction with local media who shared details of our information sessions. 

    “This approach really underscores our commitment to fostering educational exchanges and facilitating pathways for Malaysian students to pursue higher education in New Zealand,” said Naluri.

  • From the CE: Manaakitanga: it's what we do

    First, I want to acknowledge the complex and difficult situation that many students and their families, as well as agents, are facing during this period of uncertainty. This is a tough time, and I know there are a lot of people working hard in trying to make things a bit easier.

    While there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in New Zealand to date, there’s no doubt that this has been a frustrating start to the school and academic year.

    I also want to acknowledge our sector – the education providers, peak bodies and related government agencies – who have been working hard to address this rapidly changing situation, both here and internationally.

    Led by the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education for the education sector, our sector has been working hard to respond to the impact of the coronavirus and support our international students.

    Right now, we’re continuing to respond to short-term issues, while also looking at the longer term picture.

    Looking ahead, amongst other things, we’re thinking about how we recognise and acknowledge the commitment that international students have made to study in New Zealand. We also need to remain a sought-after education destination and ensure students continue to be warmly welcomed to our shores.

    Manaakitanga – to look after one another by extending respect, hospitality and warmth – must underpin everything we do.

    I’d also like to thank the homestay providers and others who have continued to warmly welcome international students into their homes, and the staff who have ensured everyone has the support they need.

    He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

    What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!

  • New Zealand-India academic partnerships to be strengthened through proposed IITD New Zealand Centre

    It is expected that the centre will host visiting researchers and academics, act as a forum for diplomatic and trade dialogue among different sectors, and support student mobility.

    ENZ Regional Director – Asia, John Laxon says that the New Zealand Centre would be a one-of-a-kind research establishment.

    “A research-focused New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi builds on New Zealand’s status as the preferred education destination for students, with a 71 per cent increase in Indian students choosing to study in New Zealand universities in 2019. We are committed to strengthening the research and education ties between New Zealand and India, and are excited to be partnering with a prestigious institution in IIT Delhi.”

    Dean of Alumni Affairs and International Programmes, Prof. Sanjeev Sanghi, says IIT Delhi was committed to quality education for students and pleased to be associated with New Zealand.

    “The New Zealand Centre embodies our efforts to embrace internationalisation, open up opportunities for new research collaborations and increase global exposure for our students. We look forward to collaborating more with universities from New Zealand.”
