Universities criticise Marsden Fund cuts, business group backs the move

Changes to a critical science fund are short-sighted and will have negative effects on universities' ability to carry out research in both humanities and social sciences, a senior academic at Victoria University says.
The article from RNZ discusses the backlash against the government's decision to cut funding for the Marsden Fund, which supports basic research in New Zealand. Universities and academics have criticized the move, arguing that it undermines New Zealand's research capabilities and innovation at a time when investment in science should be increasing. The Tertiary Education Union and the Royal Society Te Apārangi have expressed concerns over the long-term implications for the country's knowledge economy. Conversely, the Employers and Manufacturers Association (EMA) supports the cuts, suggesting that the focus should shift towards research with more immediate commercial benefits, aligning with business interests. This division highlights a broader debate on the value of basic versus applied research in New Zealand.
