In February 2009 the New Zealand Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (now the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment) and the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) signed an arrangement to encourage and facilitate greater understanding and development of research linkages between New Zealand and China. The arrangement provides for that support to be provided through the New Zealand-China Scientist Exchange Programme.
The objectives of the scientific exchange programme are to encourage and facilitate greater understanding and development of research linkages for up to 10 researchers of New Zealand and China, to facilitate access to expertise in each country, and to extend cooperation in jointly agreed priority research fields for collaboration.
At Beijing Renmin University, Mary will work with Professor Ting-Jui Chou on e-marketing and channel strategies for New Zealand food products in China.
