Research at Unitec is applied, practical, collaborative and often industry-partnered. It gives staff and students the opportunity to be creative and innovative while making positive and powerful changes in our industries, our communities and our whānau/iwi/hāpu. We give priority to research that makes a difference. We are also part of the wider research community across Aotearoa’s network of ITPs (Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics), working together to support our stakeholders.
