Lincoln University's Bledisloe Medallist Address - Dr. Robyn Dynes

Lincoln University warmly invites you to attend the 2025 Bledisloe Medallist Address, delivered by this year’s recipient, Dr Robyn Dynes.

The Bledisloe Medal is one of the University's most prestigious honours, established in 1930 by Viscount Bledisloe to recognise individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of expertise, advanced New Zealand's interests, or brought credit to Lincoln University.

Dr Robyn Dynes, a leading figure in agricultural systems research, has dedicated her career to advancing sustainable and integrated farming practices. With a deep commitment to bridging science and practice, Dr Dynes has worked extensively across disciplines and organisations to support the resilience and environmental integrity of New Zealand’s primary industries. Her address will reflect on the milestones of her professional journey, the challenges and opportunities facing land-based sectors, and the role of research in shaping a more sustainable future.

This event offers an opportunity to acknowledge Dr Dynes' significant achievements and to engage with the ideas and insights of a respected leader in New Zealand agriculture. Held in the lead-up to graduation, the Bledisloe Medallist Address forms part of Lincoln University’s celebration of excellence and contribution.

All are welcome.
