2013 Census Free Information Seminars | ethnicaffairs.govt.nz. Do you know about our diverse ethnic population? Do you know how are they changing? Statistics New Zealand, in collaboration with the Office of Ethnic Affairs, is holding free information seminars on the 2013 census results. These seminars will be held between 6 - 21 October providing opportunities for the participants to hear about New Zealand's changing demographic landscape. The seminars will also include interactive workshops on how to navigate and interpret census data on different ethnic groups. The 2013 Census is the first time Stats NZ have published in profiles for over 100 different ethnic groups in NZ . Census data can be used by community and Ethnic Groups in many different ways, including understanding population numbers to help with funding proposals; developing programmes and services for certain age groups;, settling new migrants in communities with people from similar origins, as well as promoting the use and value of using census information.
What will we be talking about? Feds Giving Engineers and Scientists $50K to Learn to Start Companies | Epicenter Government bureaucracies and start-ups are usually two things that don’t mix well together, but the National Science Foundation is looking to change that with a $10 million grant for an start-up education program intended to teach the nation’s top scientists and engineers how to become entrepreneurs. The Innovation Corps program — which starts in September at Stanford University –will give $50,000 to 100 different teams (3 or more people per team) every year to go through an intensive entrepreneurial education class.
The I-Corps class will be modeled on a Stanford engineering class called Lean LaunchPad that was taught earlier this year by serial entrepreneur Steve Blank and a coterie of entrepreneurial thought leaders, technologists and venture capitalists. The grant, which runs to $10 million, covers five years of operations of the program, which will be taught quarterly to 25 teams at a time. The point? But don’t think of it as a semester-long MBA school. Design Culture Lab | Think. Do. Make. Thoughts on Intellectual Property. - davidmacgregor's posterous. Innovation. High Tech NZ.
