_ Who we are/Mō mātou_
Founded in 1869, the University of Otago is New Zealand's first and oldest University.

Since its beginning it placed a high value on education and recognised the important role universities play in shaping individuals and society - we are committed to continuing this vision, and growing to fit today's and tomorrow's world.

We place a high priority on our partnership with tangata whenua and the importance of te ao Māori. Otago has a strong teaching and research tradition and well-established national and international linkages.

Since its formation in 2011, R&E has grown research income from $88M to over $150M, through an extended period of significant change in government strategy and investment.
