Relevant Research - January 2021

Happy New Year! We hope that you have enjoyed a restorative break from your usual activities, which we all needed after a stressful 2020. We thank all our researchers and collaborators for their effort and results last year.

This year we are looking forward to continuing to implement the Otago Polytechnic vision, "Our People Make a Better World." We do this through existing and new partnerships with the professions, businesses and other organisations in our community as well as by communicating what we are doing in a variety of media. We welcome your suggestions and ideas for new projects, new collaborations, and new ways of using our research to benefit our world.
