The New Zealand government has launched an ambitious new roadmap for the future: the Science Investment Plan (2026–2036).
紐西蘭政府已為未來啟動了一項雄心勃勃的藍圖：科學投資計畫 (2026–2036)。
This strategic initiative aims to overhaul the nation's research sector, shifting away from a fragmented, bureaucratic model toward a streamlined system focused on economic growth and national resilience.
這項策略性倡議旨在徹底改革該國的研究部門，從原本破碎且官僚的模式，轉向專注於經濟成長與國家韌性的精簡系統。
By prioritizing four key areas—including primary industries, technology, environmental sustainability, and social health—the government intends to boost high-value jobs and international competitiveness.
透過優先發展四大關鍵領域（包括初級產業、技術、環境永續性及社會健康），政府意在促進高價值就業機會與國際競爭力。
Additionally, the government is reallocating $122 million toward advanced technologies like AI, aerospace, and quantum research, addressing a historic under-investment in these fields.
此外，政府正將 1.22 億美元重新分配給 AI、航太及量子研究等先進技術，以解決這些領域長期以來投入不足的問題。
To ensure stability, existing research contracts will remain untouched, and the transition will be phased in over the next decade.
為確保穩定性，現有的研究合約將保持不變，轉型過程將在未來十年內分階段進行。
Specific investment strategies for each priority pillar are expected by September 2026, marking a new era for New Zealand's scientific community.
各個優先支柱的具體投資策略預計於 2026 年 9 月提出，這標誌著紐西蘭科學界邁入了一個新紀元。
