NZi3 Research Award

These scholarships were established in 2007 on behalf of sponsors of the ICT Innovation Institute (NZi3) at the University of Canterbury for the purpose of encouraging research in the field of ICT, either in conjunction with a company or with the intention of developing and commercialising a product.

(For the purposes of this award ICT refers to technologies which embody hardware or software in a product, rather than their use in a service industry)

Applications for the NZi3 scholarships must be received by the UC Scholarship Office. The selection panel (made up of academic and industry representatives) will shortlist the applicants and interviews may be conducted.
