Our People
Staff are located throughout New Zealand at our partner organisations, with some overseas. Scientists work on a range of research programmes including the CoRE research programme, other government funded programmes and research for industry. Below you will see how our staff encompass a variety of national universities and institutions, as well as more international locations further afield.
The Institute seeks to celebrate diversity at all levels of our organisation. We are committed to the proactive development of staff and students in the Institute and the inclusion of people from under-represented groups. Our aim is to achieve gender parity at all levels of the CoRE science team, coupled with a significant increase in the participation of Māori and Pacific staff. We consider that a culture embracing equity and diversity is intrinsic to better science and innovation.
