Abstract

Our current approach to science has engendered excessive individual and institutional competition and complexity in funding instruments. We contend that a future science system will require a more collaborative approach that supports competition for ideas within a greater ‘mission-led’ environment. We build on our experiences within the New Zealand science sector to envisage a more collaborative and open framework for delivery, which will provide long-term career opportunities and recognise the importance of vibrant universities, Crown Research Institutes and other private sector participants. A new approach will be founded on successful implementation of the National Science Challenges through a balance of science excellence, effective boards, creating best teams free of institutional constraints, a focus on delivering outcomes and benefits, sharing of data and infrastructure, and engaging with wider society.
