The 2025 Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Matakitenga Research Round is now open. We invite research applications aligned across our Matakitenga Research Framework – this year priority will be given to Pae Auaha applications (our Te Ao Māori data and digital technologies domain).

Applications close Monday 28 April 5pm.

We invite you to register for an information webinar facilitated by the NPM Pou Matarua (Co-Directors) at 12.30pm on Thursday 13 March 2025. Please register here.

Three kairangahau/kaimahi discuss concepts, mātauranga and practice in relation to Te Whare Pora. Their mahi is part of a move for whānau to be embraced within Te Whare Pora, rather than driven by clinical approaches where being Māori might be considered or accommodated.

Creativity and research are synergistic, enhancing each other through innovative problem-solving, interdisciplinary connections, and impactful communication. Creative thinking sparks novel insights and approaches, fostering experimentation and ethical consideration in advancing knowledge across disciplines. This Paetukutuku webinar focusses on the work of three creative researchers: Photographer, Natalie Robertson; animator, Zak Waipara; and painter, Zena Elliott. Each speaker will discuss the research foundation of their creative work and reflect on how they intend their artwork to be interpreted, the messages they hope to convey, or the dialogue they aim to spark with viewers.

Join us for this streamed public lecture from the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples - the Nin Tomas Memorial Lecture for 2024. The Special Rapporteur, Francisco Calí Tzay, will speak about lessons learned from constitutional reform movements and about the implementation of UNDRIP.

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is proud to host the IIRC2024 Conference at Waipapa Marae, University of Auckland

After navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re excited to return to an in-person format, fostering connections and solidarity among Indigenous researchers. Since our last in-person conference in 2018, we’ve embraced online formats in 2020 and 2022, but nothing replaces the richness of face-to-face interactions.
