HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
Five New Zealand early-career researchers were selected by Royal Society Te Apārangi and supported by Catalyst: Leaders to attend the 11th HOPE Meeting in Japan in March 2019, run by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences. These wānanga are held annually for graduate students from selected countries in the AsiaPacific region to form collegial interdisciplinary networks and to gain an appreciation of the global diversity in science. Participants also get the opportunity to learn from Nobel laureates about how to be successful in their research careers.
“I am sincerely grateful for being given the pleasure of participating in the 11th HOPE Meeting. This meeting brought together over 100 young researchers from around Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. I believe that, thanks to this opportunity, I will be able to further develop and promote my research in lung health, and it is my hope that I will be able to positively affect the health and welfare of peoples around the world.” SARAH HOWE, 11TH HOPE MEETING PARTICIPANT
