Future Leaders

The Future Leaders module supports early- and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) in healthtech.

Our vision is to establish a nation-wide, transdisciplinary network of medtech and neuroscience EMCRs where effective collaboration and engagement with relevant communities across Aotearoa is promoted.

To achieve this we will be hosting events that encourage networking and collaboration across disciplines and institutions and provide practical training to equip EMCRs with the skills to establish new research collaborations with high impact.
