According to a pair of articles from the New Zealand Herald on 6 March and 7 March 2002, competition among New Zealandís academic institutions has been keen to win a role as host institutions in the Government's funding of five university research programmes from its $60 million Centres of Research Excellence (Core) fund. The NZ Government pledged to invest almost $61 million in five research centres, based across three of the country's eight universities. One of the centers selected will be devoted to nanoscale science and technology.
