For those of you based in Wellington, or visiting the city next Wednesday, 11th March, we are inviting you to attend a celebration of Indigenous Scholarship and the launch of the new Māori & Indigenous Researcher Online Directory - Te Hononga Pūkenga.

One of NPM's main national platforms is to build academic rigour, scholarship and capacity amongst our Māori graduates and experts.

In aiming to facilitate stronger engagement with Government, communities and the wider public/private sector, we have created Te Hononga Pūkenga - an online Directory of our Māori researchers with their expertise, location and contact information readily available.

In time, we hope that the Directory will be used as a tool to access Māori expertise on policy formation, field-research, stakeholder engagement and communications.

We hope that you are able to join us. Refreshments will be provided. If you would like to attend, please RSVP by completing the web form on the attached registration link.

Tickets are limited, so please get back to us as soon as you can.
