Synchrotron science facilitates technological innovation and discovery, which is fundamental to growing a future-focused economy that serves all our sectors, along with improved wellbeing and livelihoods.
Since 2006, a wide range of innovative research in Aotearoa New Zealand has benefited from the New Zealand Synchrotron Group’s (NZSG) unique partnership in the synchrotron facilities operated by ANSTO – Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, based in Victoria. You can read about some of the resulting science successes and impacts on this website.
The NZSG is a founding partner of, and facilitates our researchers’ access to, the Australian Synchrotron. The Australian Synchrotron has become an essential tool for many researchers, and its use and discoveries have resulted in a strong and beneficial partnership with Australian scientists.
Moreover, New Zealand’s partnership with Australia enhances science infrastructure in the Australasia region.
The New Zealand Synchrotron Group is a partnership of 12 institutions (eight financial), who, by virtue of their membership, have privileged access rights to the Australian Synchrotron.
Our 12 partners are:
