The FRIENZ project will provide funding to assist selected European delegates to participate in a Study Group tour through New Zealand for approximately 5 days beginning 9 February 2015. The task of the delegation is to promote opportunities for collaboration in research and innovation with New Zealand; strengthen existing relationships; and stimulate new collaboration with New Zealand research organisations and innovation partners.
The overall interdisciplinary theme of the tour is advanced manufacturing technologies.
Participants are expected to strengthen on-going relationships and collaboration with their New Zealand counterparts in the theme area.
