It takes heart: building a collaborative research centre to have maximum impact

New Zealand’s Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs) are collaborative, strategically focussed research entities looking to build research capacity and capability as well as tackling specific challenges.

In this talk, Lisa Wong, Research Operations Manager at the University of Auckland (UoA), will share the start of the current journey of establishing a de novo local centre of heart research at the University (Manaaki Mānawa) and how the team galvanized a national network of cardiovascular researchers to achieve a successful CoRE Award. The talk will focus on efforts to enable engagement, equity and impact.

The session will be interactive with discussion encouraged and a Q&A session to follow.

• Date: Monday, 13 September
• Time: 12.30 NZST
