The NPM team is preparing for a jam packed November with researchers across our network attending four major events. 

The first is the World Indigenous Peoples’ Conference on Education (WIPCE), hosted by AUT from 16-20 November. Now in its 38th year, WIPCE is a highlight in the Indigenous events calendar, with hundreds of attendees expected from all of the world’s regions.

Around the corner at Waipapa Tauata Rau, NPM senior researcher Dr Daniel Wilson and his team will host Indigidata Aotearoa from November 23 to 28. Based on the successful Indigidata data science education workshop in the US, Indigidata Aotearoa is  dedicated to growing Māori data scientists and data kaitiaki.

The third hui, Taikura Aotearoa Tri-Academy Indigenous Summit, will take place at AUT from 24-26 November.  Hosted by the Royal Society Te Apārangi as part of its partnership with Royal Society Canada and the Australian Academy of Science, Taikura will focus on establishing an international, Indigenous-led research agenda. Several NPM Fellows are speaking and facilitating workshops. 

The final hui in Ōtepoti will gather up to 150 doctoral students from Te Kupenga o MAI, our national doctoral scholars network. Hosted by Dr Rachel Sizemore and the mighty MAI ki Ōtākou team, the hui-ā-tau brings together MAI sites from around the motu as well as Indigenous PhDs from Australia and Hawai’i. The annual hui is an opportunity for the next gen of Indigenous research leaders to share their research, make connections and enjoy each others’ company. We look forward to sharing some of the highlights and photos in future e-pānui.
