Government-funded science has a vital role to play in shaping New Zealand’s future, but the successful fulfilment of that role depends on the will of its citizens to embrace science, and the will of its scientists to embrace the needs and wants of society.
Assessing and strengthening the relationship between this process of investment and the broader context in which it occurs is critical if we wish to pursue science as a powerful tool for leveraging social action and improving well-being.
This report aims to contribute to this important conversation by exploring the system of government-funded science in New Zealand. The report finds that there needs to be greater compatibility between government-funded science and the public interest if we are truly going to embrace science in this country.
