Priority will be given to the building of research capabilities and the quality of research. The recent decisions to establish Centres of Research Excellence (CoRE) represent one step in this direction. The TEC will also be ensuring, through charters and profiles, that providers are giving attention to building research capability, quality and relevance. This focus will be reinforced by a shift to more explicit recognition and rewards for this through funding structures and in particular the development of a new performance-based research fund. By 2007, this will have increased the quality of research through peer assessment and performance indicators. Excellent basic research will underpin the tertiary sector’s contributions to the creation of new knowledge and understandings, to teaching, to the achievement of national goals, and to supporting the universities’ role as critic and conscience of society. Research within tertiary institutions will balance alignment with the national interest with the traditions of academic freedom. « Strategy 6 | Index | Objective 30 » |
