Scientist for a Day programme

A scientist for a day at your business

IRL is offering the services of some of its top scientists and engineers as part of a programme aimed at demonstrating the benefits of research and development to New Zealand businesses.

From August to December, we will be engaging with selected New Zealand-based businesses that meet our eligibility criteria in a hands-on and face-to-face technical interaction at either your business location or at an IRL laboratory.

We will then follow up with a report highlighting any fresh ideas and opportunities that could improve your business quality, efficiency and differentiation, at no cost.

Applications for Scientist for a Day have now closed (7 July).  All applicants will be contacted and informed of the decision regarding their application by the end of July 2011. 

The Scientist for a Day programme is one part of a wider suite of initiatives designed to build relationships with potential and current clients.  Our Industry Engagement team specialises in identifying opportunities for developing businesses through R&D. We also work closely with clients to source funding for projects such as Technology Transfer Vouchers.
