The trade relationship between China and New Zealand is well known. But to understand the true breadth and depth of bilateral engagement we need to be across our longstanding connections in other areas as well.

On 6 July the New Zealand China Council and the North Asia Centre of Asia-Pacific Excellence will co-host an online event to launch the Council’s latest report, Collaborative Horizons, which explores New Zealand-China partnerships in the area of scientific and other research.

In discussion with New Zealand China Council Executive Director Alistair Crozier, report author Peter Graczer will present his key findings. And we’ll hear from NZ researcherswho have engaged extensively with Chinese counterparts.

Where does China rank when it comes to co-authoring scientific research papers with New Zealand?

What benefits and issues have our kiwi researchers encountered whenpartnering with Chinese colleagues?

And what could be the next big focus areas for future research?
