Happy New Year! We invite you to take the opportunity this year to partner with our staff and/or students in research that is relevant for you. We look forward to hearing from you and scoping a collaborative project.

Our staff had a very productive year with their research in 2019:

• Total Research Outputs 2019: 580 (32% increase on 2018)
• Quality Assured Research Outputs 2019: 435 (34% increase on 2018)
• Active researchers 2019: 208 (22% increase on 2018)
• Vision Mātauranga outputs 2019: 37 (27% increase on 2018)

• Outputs adding to knowledge around sustainable practice 2019: 119 (526% increase on 2018)

We would also like to share the latest results of our Learner Capability Framework research project with you. This project is funded by Ako Aotearoa with a national grant and we are now at the halfway point. This stage has focussed on our alumni views on how Otago Polytechnic has facilitated their employability and on in-programme testing of the framework for students. The Alumni Survey and Interview Analysis is available here and the Synthesis report here.
