NZARES-NZAE Joint ECR Virtual Workshop 2023
NZARES and NZAE organise the first-ever Early Career Researcher (ECR) workshop this year on September 6, 2023.
We define Early Career Researchers (ECR) as students at the undergraduate (honours),
graduate (honours or masters), or post-graduate level and scholars within 5 years of receiving their Ph.D.
This workshop offers a platform for ECRs to connect, receive feedback on their work, and build connections, albeit virtually.
The ECRs focusing on agricultural economics, resource economics, environmental economics, development economics, farm management,
agricultural systems, agricultural extension, and food marketing.
The day-long workshop will be divided into three parts. Part one will comprise a keynote presentation by Dr. Ana Manero, Crawford School of
Public Policy, ANU, highlighting the Opportunities and Challenges of publishing as an ECR. Part two will have three consecutive sessions
with contributed papers. Part 3 will conclude with a panel discussion on the future of publishing academic papers, followed by the AGM of
NZARES for 2023.

NZARES One Day Workshop 2023
Location: Massey University, Palmerston North Campus
Date: November 2023
The theme of the workshop is Economic Resilience of New Zealand’s Global Value Chains.
The economic resilience of New Zealand’s global value chains has been challenged in recent history with market and climate events disrupting these chains, i.e. the Covid pandemic, Cyclone Gabriel, the Russian Invasion of the Ukraine, and milk policy deregulation in Europe. Given New Zealand’s reliance on export markets for a significant proportion of agricultural production, this implies that challenges to these global value chains can impact New Zealand agricultural producers and firms involved in these chains. Also, New Zealand relies on global value chains to provide essential inputs into the agricultural sector, including fertiliser, chemicals, machinery, and other critical inputs. The objective of this workshop is to discuss the economic resilience of global value chains in which New Zealand participates.
NZARES Committee proposes that the day-long event be split into two separate events. The morning session will comprise a panel discussion from government and policy makers, researchers, and participants in global value chains to discuss the different perspectives on the interconnectedness between resilience of these global value chains and New Zealand’s economic development. The afternoon session will be two consecutive single stream contributed paper sessions focusing on research being undertaken by research organisations into the resilience of global value chains, this can include universities, CRI, and industry.
