Shayne Currie (@nzherald): NZ communities risk slipping into “news deserts”, with the Far North, Taupō & South Taranaki already flagged in Koi Tū’s latest paper. 📰Article (paywalled): nzherald.co.nz/business/media… 📄Report (free): informedfutures.org/news-deserts/
Intellectual sovereignty: the hidden role of the university. In @timeshighered, Koi Tū Director Sir @PeterGluckman explores the critical role universities play in sustaining a nation’s intellectual sovereignty. Read the article here: timeshighereducation.com/opinion/protec…
NZ is on the brink of “news deserts” – communities with no local news. New @InformedFutures report by Dr Gavin Ellis warns of risks to democracy, social cohesion & rising misinformation. Read it here 👉 informedfutures.org/news-deserts #NewsDeserts #Democracy
New Zealand’s social cohesion is “in a somewhat fragile state”. Without trust – between people, and in our institutions – we can’t be resilient in the face of climate change, tech disruption, or global instability. Read our new commentary: bit.ly/46c26DW #SocialCohesion
We’re pleased to welcome Dr Chris Erwin as a Fellow at Koi Tū. Chris is an applied microeconomist whose research spans education, the labour market, & equity. His previous work explored adult literacy & numeracy, crime interactions, & productivity signals in higher education.
New in @ScienceMagazine: Koi Tū Director @PeterGluckman & Vaughan Turekian outline 3 modes of science diplomacy: aspirational, pragmatic & now transactional as geopolitics reshape global collaboration. DOI: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…
Koi Tū marked our first day in our new home, 48 Emily Place with a karakia whakawātea led by Tom Irvine & Robbie Paora of @NWOrakei. It was a special moment for our trustees and the wider Koi Tū whanau to reflect and acknowledge manawhenua. informedfutures.org/a-new-chapter-…
To break the epidemic of mental health concerns in young people we have to focus on the beginning of life. In @ScienceMagazine, @PeterGluckman & Mark Hanson use an evolutionary biology framework to explain why children are increasingly anxious. informedfutures.org/growing-anxiou…
We’re hiring at Koi Tū Centre for Informed Futures. Join our think-tank to tackle big questions shaping society’s future. We're seeking Senior Policy Fellows/Fellows, Analysts and an Executive Assistant. Read more informedfutures.org/we-are-hiring/
Hear from two global leaders in science diplomacy – @PeterGluckman & Dr Salvatore Arico at a webinar to discuss the current challenges facing science & international science cooperation. Friday 16 May, 2025, 3pm-4pm informedfutures.org/webinar-scienc…
The Netflix programme 'Adolescence' raises questions about the dangers of a digital disconnect between adults and young people. Is there a gap, and how do we bridge it? Madeline Hayward and Dr Seungyeon Kim informedfutures.org/adolescence-an…
There are urgent & deep challenges to international science & the role of science in addressing the global commons is compromised. @PeterGluckman's address to EU Network of Science Advisors & Science Diplomacy Coordinators in Ministries of Foreign Affairs. bit.ly/42seyxF
This week Koi Tū became an independent charitable trust after 5 successful years of incubation at @AucklandUni. We'll continue to lead future-focused thinking on NZ’s biggest challenges. informedfutures.org/koi-tu-becomes… #KoiTū #LongTermThinking #NZFuture #InformedFutures
Social capital is a liberal democracy’s core asset, writes Sir @PeterGluckman following the NZ Royal Commission on Covid-19 report. businessdesk.co.nz/article/opinio…
NZ’s education system is outdated and needs urgent reform. New report by @Hood_Nina and Victoria Macann, explores why schools need an overhaul to prepare kids for the 22nd century. informedfutures.org/searching-for-…
@InformedFutures report "Searching for Utopia" - deep and frank look at the underlying challenges in the education system that require fundamental rethinking if children are to get the best start in a very challenging & changing world - informedfutures.org/wp-content/upl…
Mental health challenges need evidence, not ego. Koi Tū's Dr @JessStubbing writes that recent comments on alcohol and mental health fly in the face of research and the perspectives of those with lived experience. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360477…
Alcohol is not the solution to mental health challenges. Social support, including counselling, is essential. With complex issues like youth suicide, we urge New Zealanders to follow robust evidence. Alcohol and youth suicide are well linked. dpmc.govt.nz/sites/default/…
Great to see the importance of play being recognised by @SportNZ with #PlayWeek. Our research by Felicia Low & Chloe Wilkinson explains how play isn’t just fun – it builds the physical, social, and emotional foundations tamariki need to thrive. Read: informedfutures.org/play/
Great to see evidence to policy impact with Government recognising the vital role of nutrition in early childhood. @KidsCanNZ will provide 10,000 more ECE lunches from 2025, building on research from @PeterGluckman & Felicia Low. beehive.govt.nz/release/govern…
