RSNZ Research community survey

Supporting the professional needs of the research community is one of the Royal Society of New Zealand’s many responsibilities under its Act of Parliament.  In the future it is envisaging being involved in broader activity than what it is best known for; recognising excellent research.  The Society has a responsibility to be relevant to all researchers, at all career stages (including early career), and those working in a range of employment contexts including Universities, CRIs, independent research organisations, ITPs, wānanga and the private sector.  It also wishes to embrace diversity in the broadest sense. The Royal Society of New Zealand wants to hear the views of as many researchers as possible in order to identify the activities that the wider research community would most value. Through the link below you have the opportunity to complete a survey which will take five to ten minutes. You are also welcome to send this email and the link on to your colleagues in the New Zealand research community and encourage them to also complete the survey. The closing date is 18 March 2016.

You will see from the style the eNews consists largely of links.

Our preferred form is  a few lines at most, with a link or an email contact for further information.

At a pinch we may self-host longer documents to link in the eNews, but they must be submitted as pdf or word documents as attachments to emails. They need some processing so there may be a delay in their being used.

If you are running a conference we will usually run a link once only - and if you don't have a website for it yet, then please tell us when you have. 

Relevant job advertisements are welcome - there is no charge.
