“Put our graduates to work”: Professor Saulei issues urgent call to fund local Marine Research​

Professor Simon Saulei has challenged the Papua New Guinean government, urging it to stop relying on international experts and start investing in the untapped potential of the country's own university graduates. ​Speaking during the session on marine scientific research at the 2026 Melanesian Ocean Summit, Professor Saulei argued that PNG is failing miserably to provide the resources necessary for local institutions to lead the nation’s blue economy. ​ ​Professor Saulei highlighted that Papua New Guinea is producing highly skilled undergraduates and postgraduates who remain unemployed, while the government continues to look abroad for scientific solutions.
