3 new future-focused science organisations, formed by merging and refocusing New Zealand’s 7 Crown Research Institutes, have been in place since 1 July 2025. These organisations will concentrate on key areas of national importance to deliver a science system that is more connected, more commercially focused, and better aligned with the needs of New Zealand.
This research project identified the critical barriers, enablers and approaches that would be needed for a more circular economy in Aotearoa New Zealand by 2050.
