OPSITARA Research
Each month we bring you a selection of research stories from students and staff, and across the variety of disciplines at Otago Polytechnic. Many of them are partnering directly with a business or other organisation to meet a need or solve a real world issue. If there is something our students or staff could help you with, please get in touch because we'd love to help if we can.
We hope you enjoy reading this month's stories. Please feel free to forward this newsletter or share any particular article if you think others would be interested too.
