September 2024: Cawthron Institute is celebrating the announcement that four of its bids for the 2024 MBIE Endeavour Fund round have been successful. Two Research Programme bids and two Smart Ideas proposals were awarded, focused on understanding how microalgal communities respond to climate change, developing tools to effectively respond to marine biosecurity threats, developing next-generation fertilisers from cyanobacteria, and optimising salmon nutrition.
Cawthron Institute’s Chief Executive Volker Kuntzsch says these research programmes are "very much focused on applied science that will have an immediate, real-world impact."
“I’m delighted that MBIE and the panel of assessors have recognised the value that Cawthron Institute’s science can contribute to Aotearoa New Zealand’s environment, economy and society.”
