CPSS Research Programme — Expressions of Interest

The Coastal People: Southern Skies Centre of Research Excellence (CPSS) invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) in research projects that strengthen the mauri ora (flourishing wellness) of our coastal communities, restore and sustain coastal ecosystems, and grow the capability and capacity of our people. This call is the first step in a two-stage application process.

EOI DEADLINE: 17 October 2025

Submit EOI applications to cpss@otago.ac.nz

You do not have to be an existing member of CPSS to submit an Expression of Interest, and can apply for membership at any stage of the EOI or full research proposal process.

You will need to be a member of CPSS for your project to be approved – apply here!
