Engaging With Asian Communities
“Engaging with Asian Communities” is the title of a report prepared for the Asia NZ Foundation. The research considers the nature and models of engagement of Asian communities and characteristics of successful engagement.
The types of engagement considered have indicated what elements and components are needed in programmes. There are good examples of engagement but few that are all-encompassing in their effectiveness. Some programmes have been included as examples of what is good and capable of imitation.
The report can be found on the Asia NZ Foundation website: http://www.asianz.org.nz
Report Explores Research and Development
“Research and Development in NZ 2004”, a report based on the results of the 2004 Research and Development Survey, is a joint report by Statistics NZ and the Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST). Information on business, government and higher education sector research and development (R&D) is contained in the report. It investigates in detail the type of R&D expenditure, type and purpose of research, and personnel involved in R&D in NZ.
Research and development expenditure in NZ in the 2004 reference year has been measured at $1,593.1 million (revised from $1,603.1 million). Of this, the business sector spent the largest amount on R&D, at $677.1 million (revised from $648.1 million). The government sector spent $461.2 million (revised from $498.4 million) and the higher education sector spent $454.8 million.
