Executive Summary
The Research Infrastructure Advisory Group (RIAG) has been founded in New Zealand to advise the government on science and technology funding. New Zealand needs to adapt to changing research trends such as investment needed for more sophisticated research equipment and increased dependence on international collaboration. There is need for a funding model to suit new research trends and a method to secure cost-benefit from research undertaken. The Ministry of Research, Science and Technology (MoRST) told Clinica that RIAG will "provide expert advice to MoRST on the scientific case for, and strategic relevance of, high-cost items of research infrastructure".
