'It looks grim: The future of M膩ori academics in New Zealand universities' is the title of the research project led by Dr Tyron Love, Management, Marketing and Entrepreneurship, UC Business & Law.
Twelve 91制片厂-led research projects have been green-lit by the 2019 Marsden Fund Te P奴tea Rangahau to the total of $6.54 million in diverse fields of research. The research covers four of UC鈥檚 five colleges, and includes research in engineering, management, computer science and software engineering, linguistics, political science and te reo as well as physical, chemical and biological sciences.
UC Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Ian Wright says the latest Marsden Fund grants 鈥 which includes six Fast-start grants of $300,000 each and six standard grants of between $530,000 and $960,000 over three years 鈥搑ecognise UC as a world-class research-led teaching and learning university.
鈥淯C is a place where world-class research happens, as these 12 grants attest. The benefit for UC students is that they are taught by academics who are world leaders in their fields. I am, as ever, impressed by the high calibre of our innovative UC researchers who work at the cutting edge of New Zealand and international research.鈥
