How we work

Science New Zealand enables collective action on behalf of all members. Principally around fostering a national constituency for science and technology, Science New Zealand also acts or speaks on behalf of members on other agreed matters.


A small office supports and coordinates the work of the Science New Zealand Board and a number of standing and ad hoc peer advisory groups.
