New Zealand Association of Scientists

New Zealand Association of Scientists

The New Zealand Association of Scientists is a professional body for scientists in New Zealand. It differs from the Royal Society of New Zealand in being a independent non-profit incorporated society and registered charity,[1][2] rather than being constituted by an Act of Parliament.[3] While not being entirely non-political,[4] the Association focuses on policy and social responsibility aspects of science.[5]

The Association publishes a peer reviewed journal the New Zealand Science Review which is a "forum for the discussion of science policy."[6] The Association awards an annual Marsden Medal for service rendered to the cause or profession of science.
