Meeting our objectives
On 1 July 2025, the roles, services and technologies of New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI) were integrated into the crown-owned company, Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand (REANNZ). Stay connected with us by visiting the REANNZ website.
NeSI focuses on the following objectives, tracking performance against related Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Measuring impact
NeSI is also working with MBIE to develop a future KPI that will measure the impact of research outcomes from projects using NeSI services and infrastructure.
This measure will quantify:
- NeSI’s ability to improve the quality of the research
- NeSI’s targeted focus on the right areas by choosing high impact research projects
Over the last six years, NeSI has a field-weighted citation impact of 1.72, with 19.1 citations per publication*.
This compares favourably with the New Zealand research sector as a whole for the same period, which has an average field-weighted citation impact of 1.53 and 8.8 citations per publication.
While NeSI’s is a small sample size, citation analysis does indicate the broad impact of NeSI-supported research across a range of domains.
