Ministry of Research, Science & Technology

Our main responsibilities are to:

  • Manage the Government's research, science and technology (RS&T) investment
  • Provide policy advice on RS&T issues
  • Encourage innovation and commercialisation of scientific and technological knowledge and ideas
  • Collaborate with other government organisations where RS&T intersects with their work

In all our activities, we work towards our major outcome of getting measurable benefits from New Zealand's investment in research, science and technology.
