Our approach
The Otago Energy Research Centre supports the development of collaborative research as a contribution to a sustainable energy future. The Centre strengthens research and research-led teaching by:
- Encouraging new research initiatives
- Encouraging researchers to collaborate within and across disciplines where this may result in enhanced research outcomes
- Providing a forum for researchers to share their research progress and findings
- Encouraging translation of research outcomes into teaching programmes
- Fostering new and emerging energy researchers
- Encouraging industry/researcher collaborations
- Assisting information exchange between researchers and research stakeholders, including iwi and other sectors of the community
- Contributing to the development of a research agenda that reflects national and international needs
- Collaborating internationally and with researchers elsewhere in New Zealand. For links to some of the national collaborators' websites, please visit the links page.
