Relevant Research - September 2016

This month we again bring you a selection of stories illustrating the variety of ways the work of Otago Polytechnic researchers, both staff and students, is benefiting business organisations and the public. 

Three ways to engage with our students are featured in this issue.  You could hire an intern over the summer through the subsidised Sexy Summer Jobs scheme, or work with one of our Masters students with a Callaghan Innovation R&D Fellowship Grant. And there is an opportunity to take advantage of a long range low power wireless network being built by our students.

You will also read about what some of our research staff have are doing, and we highlight the very significant impact achieved by Professor Sally Pairman over many years.

We look forward to your feedback about the newsletter.
