  • Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group Terms of Reference
    IN CONFIDENCE Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group Terms of Reference Context 1. Aotearoa’s COVID-19 elimination strategy has served New Zealanders well both in terms of health and economic outcomes. One of the keys to that success has been our commitment to constantly learn, adapt and look to the future. This will continue to be critical as we roll out our mass vaccination campaign and move into a new post-pandemic phase of our response. 2. As vaccine coverage increases throughout 2021 the Government will face a number of decisions regarding our border and public health settings. At the same time, we must be to ready to respond to any changes in the epidemiology of COVID-19, including the possible emergence of new variants. 3. To ensure our ongoing response is informed by the best available scientific evidence and expert advice, as the responsible Minister for COVID-19 response I am establishing the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group (the Group) to report to myself (via Minister Verrall) and the COVID-19 Ministerial Group on some of the challenges and opportunities we face. 4. I intend that the Group will work with the COVID-19 Independent Continuous Review, Improvement and Advice Group, especially around health protections post vaccine. The timing benefits both groups giving an opportunity to align their priorities and working approach to eliminate any duplication and cover any gaps. Purpose of the Strategic COVID-19 Public Health Advisory Group 5. The Group will provide independent advice on our ongoing COVID-19 response informed by their expertise in epidemiology, infectious diseases, public health, and modelling.

During the year I have been heartened to be a part of discussions on how local people are coming together to support areas of need, and to have seen young people learning, using their skills, and growing in confidence, building businesses in a range of areas and demonstrating the range of jobs that will be part of our future. The drivers for central government are very different to those for local government. These institutions will come under increasing strain from the pace of change, our limited financial and natural resources, and increasing global unrest and nationalism. We believe that the next few years should be about creating and supporting trust between individuals, communities, and organisations.

  • 2010 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2010 Academy Annual Report The 2010 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword In January 2010 the final act of “embracing the Humanities” within the Royal Society took place with the signing of an MOU between Te Whainga Aronui The Council for the Humanities and Te Apārangi the Royal Society of New Zealand. President Dr Garth Carnaby described this as landmark decision for both organisations. “For the first time there will be an organisation in New Zealand that promotes excellence in research and scholarship across all the disciplines and areas of knowledge.” The CV’s of the existing fellows of the Council for the Humanities were reviewed by the Academy Executive and these people were admitted to the Fellowship by a special resolution at the Fellow’s AGM. The Academy has continued to provide “information pieces” and forward- looking contributions on present and emerging debates that were introduced in 2009. In 2010, 2 information statements were prepared. Sea Level Rise: Emerging Issues recounted the significant changes in the scientific understanding of this issue since the 2007 Assessment Report by the IPCC. The Darfield Earthquake: The Value of Long-term Research was produced to document the research conducted in New Zealand over many years on how to construct and strengthen buildings to improve performance during large earthquakes. The application of this science and engineering undoubtedly played a big role in limiting the damage and injury caused by the 2010 Christchurch earthquake.

    What we do In just a few months, COVID-19 infection has become a global pandemic. This new coronavirus presents unique challenges for pandemic control. Aotearoa New Zealand has chosen an elimination strategy to contain spread of the virus. Both the pandemic itself and the response are having profound and inequitable impacts on health and wellbeing in this country and neighbouring Pacific countries. The goals of this research are to: 1. Describe the pandemic and its population health impacts in New Zealand and the Pacific 2. Evaluate the response to help shape and improve its effectiveness and equity 3. Contribute to long-term improvements in New Zealand’s ability to manage pandemic threats 4. Identify health, equity and sustainability benefits arising from a well-designed recovery Who we are Co-search brings together a diverse multidisciplinary team that includes: Pandemic experts from Otago, Massey, and Auckland universities including epidemiology, microbiology, vaccine strategy, and disease modelling scientists; Māori researchers (including partnership with Takiri Mai Te Ata Whanau Ora Collective and Kōkiri Marae in Wellington); Pacific researchers associated with the University of Otago; Emergency management experts from the Massey Joint Centre for Disaster Research; Systems science experts from ESR; University of Otago students running a project that aims to understand lived experience of the pandemic; A photographer and videographer from the University of Otago Wellington who will contribute to the historical record by visually documenting the pandemic and the response. Co-search is led by Professor Michael Baker (Director) and Dr Amanda Kvalsvig (Lead Researcher) at the Department of Public Health, University of Otago Wellington.

  • 2013 Academy Annual Report
    This document has been created from historical website content. 2013 Academy Annual Report The 2013 Academy Annual Report details the accomplishments of the Academy of the Royal Society of New Zealand throughout the year. Chair’s foreword As Chair of the Academy Executive Committee since July 2013, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Richard Le Heron, who preceded me during the first 6 months of 2013, for his effort in guiding the Academy during that time. Thereafter, he supported and advised me in my role as Chair. Also over the last year the Academy Executive Committee members that sat on the Society’s Council comprising Professor Sir David Skegg (President RSNZ), Professor Richard Le Heron, Dr John Caradus, Professor Michael Corballis, Dr Stephen Goldson, Professor Keith Hunter, Professor Margaret Tennant and Professor Richard Bedford worked to enhance the profile of the Academy as the intellectual focus of Royal Society of New Zealand. An important role of the Chair of the Academy is to chair the annual Fellowship election process. The 2013 round resulted in the selection of 13 new Fellows and two new Honorary Fellows. The Fellowship at 31 December stood at 389 and Honorary Fellowship at 59. This year some modifications to the election procedure introduced on a trial basis last year were continued and the process operated very smoothly, thanks largely to excellent preparatory work done by Gill Sutherland, Senior Manager—Society Secretariat. As a result of consultation with both the Fellows and the representatives of the constituent organisations, it was suggested that the Academy should become more active in preparing RSNZ Expert Advice Papers using both Fellows and the wider communities to formulate well researched documents for public dissemination.
