2.1 The business science interface - Annual Report 2017

New Zealand companies have finite resources to develop innovative technology for global markets, yet right down the road from some of these local companies are scientists from the MacDiarmid Institute, leading the world in some of these very same areas. While the main research drive of the MacDiarmid Institute is not industry-led, we’ve found we have a great capacity to help industry solve particular problems.

3.1 Extending our engagement - Annual Report 2017

By partnering with House of Science, we enabled the Tauranga- based charity to begin their nation-wide roll-out of their science box scheme. House of Science provides science resource kits and professional development to schools and teachers. The new MacDiarmid Nano-Chem boxes are based on our longstanding Kōrero programme (and include experiments with light, acids and bases and magnets), enabling us to extend the reach of Kōrero to many more students and teachers.
