EARLYBIRD NOW CLOSES SEPTEMBER 17th 2014
Make sure you dont miss out on the 6th biennial Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga 2014 International Indigenous Development Research Conference (IIDRC).
The conference is being held 25th - 28th November in Auckland, welcoming indigenous scholars from many different research fields and nations to come together and share knowledge, develop ideas and create innovative approaches to research. It will highlight indigeneity and the multidisciplinary approach used for indigenous development.
There was an overwhelming response to the call for abstracts! We would like to thank everyone for their applications to IIDRC 2014. We received over 200 abstracts submissions from 117 nations in 21 countries across the world. The abstract committee has reviewed all the applications and all notifications have been sent out. Due to the high quality of abstracts we have created a programme that will allow more than 190 researchers to present their work.
