Welcome from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise
Professor Harlene Hayne
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise
Research is the lifeblood of any great university. With 140 years of experience, the University of Otago has an international track-record of research excellence. But we’re not sitting on our laurels or hiding in our ivory towers.
Our research is relevant, innovative and connected. Relevant, because it addresses today’s concerns while looking ahead to tomorrow’s unimagined possibilities. Innovative, because it solves practical and theoretical problems in novel and creative ways. Connected, because it links to families and communities, to business and government, both here and globally.
You can learn all about this for yourself by reading our annual research publication He Kitenga, viewing the work of our Research Centres and Groups or contacting one of our many experts or Leading Thinkers.
