Specialised Training & Facilities accessed by MWC investigators

The MWC provides funding through its Flexible Research Seeding Programme to enable MWC investigators to access specialised facilities and training internationally and nationally, either to work in leading laboratories overseas on collaborative projects involving advanced technology, or to attend specialised practical workshops not available in NZ.
