Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs)

 

The Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs) Fund was established in 2001 to encourage the development of collaborative world-class research:

• The CoREs Fund is administered by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC).
• CoREs are primarily, but not exclusively, inter-institutional research networks, with researchers working together on a commonly agreed work programme.
• Each CoRE is hosted by a university and comprises a number of partner organisations including other universities, CRIs and wananga.

Seven CoREs have been established. They are concerned with:

	Molecular ecology and evolution (The Allan Wilson Centre, Massey University)
	Molecular biodiversity (The Maurice Wilkins Centre, University of Auckland)
	Mathematics and its applications (NZIMA, University of Auckland)
	Advanced materials and nanotechnology (The MacDiarmid Institute, Victoria University of Wellington)
	Human and animal growth and development (National Research Centre for Growth and Development, University of Auckland)
	Advanced bio-protection technologies (Bio-Protection Research Centre, Lincoln University)
	Maori development and advancement (Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, University of Auckland)
