Famous, far-reaching and fifty-something: the Dunedin Study’s next era

Overview

Laura Black is the first independent chair of the world-famous Dunedin Study’s governance group, with responsibility for securing a sustainable financial future and succession planning to the third director of the Study.

The constraints of the University model, the principles the study was founded on, new thinking about data governance, and the chance for significant diversification into intervention design and deployment are all in play as the Study transitions to a new leadership.

We welcome University of Otago Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Richard Barker, CMInstD to chair this session.
