Executive Summary
This Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways White Paper presents a high level vision for New Zealand’s public Research Science and Innovation (RSI) system, including key policy directions and actions, and provides a roadmap to implement the reform programme. It will function as an enduring policy reference point for the reform programme as detailed proposals are developed to deliver on the Te Ara Paerangi vision.
Introduction
Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways is a multi-year programme focused on the future of New Zealand’s RSI system. Through Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways, we are building a modern, future focused research system for New Zealand to meet the challenges and make the most of the opportunities ahead of us. Te Ara Paerangi signals the pathway by which we will achieve the significant additional government investment needed to achieve the goal of overall R&D expenditure of two percent of GDP by 2030.
Reform Objectives
The Government’s vision for New Zealand’s future RSI system is for it to make a greater impact on New Zealand’s productivity and wellbeing at a time when our country faces significant and growing challenges, such as adapting to a changing climate.
Implementation
This White Paper marks only the beginning of the change programme of Te Ara Paerangi – Future Pathways. It is important that we get these changes right, so we are committed to engaging with the sector as we develop policy proposals to implement the actions in this White Paper.
