Panel:

Prof Geoff Chase - Science for Technological Innovation National Science Challenge
Prof Parry Guilford - Healthier Lives National Science Challenge

Prof Barry Taylor - A Better Start National Science Challenge

Moderator: Prof Peter Crampton

Established in 2014, the eleven government-funded National Science Challenges are cross-disciplinary, mission-led programmes designed to tackle New Zealand’s biggest science-based challenges. As they enter their final year of funding, representatives of each Science Challenge will gather in Dunedin across four nights to discuss some of the impactful research that has come out of these initiatives and how it is being applied across Aotearoa for the benefit of us all.

This talk was recorded live on 4 July 2023 as part of the New Zealand International Science Festival
