Diversity in science

By putting a focus on diversity we can make sure that we capture the very best ideas and talent to support the highest quality research. We believe that everyone should have a fair and equal opportunity to participate in the science system to their fullest potential.

Our Diversity in Science Statement sets out our ambition to promote diversity in science and research.

Te Tauaki a MBIE mō te Matahuhuatanga i te Pūtaiao | Te Reo Māori translation of Diversity in Science statement

He mea tino nui te matahuhuatanga i te pūnaha pūtaiao e puta katoa ai ngā hua e taea ana, e tika ana. Mā te arotahi ki te matahuhuatanga e mau pai ai ngā whakaaro me ngā pūmanawa kairangi hei tautoko i ngā rangahautanga kairangi.
