Hosted by MAI ki Waikato on behalf of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga and Te Kupenga o MAI the 2014 National Māori & Indigenous Doctoral Conference will be held from Friday 21st November - Sunday 23rd November 2014, at Maketu Marae, Kawhia.

NPM seeks to invest in further research projects focusing on its research priority ‘Optimising Māori Economic Performance’ that aligns to its research direction.

Optimising Māori Economic Performance – harnessing the contribution of Māori peoples to New Zealand’s economic development through increased, successful and positive participation in the general economy and through distinctive Māori contributions to economic development.

NPM is seeking applications from individuals or groups within its PRE Network interested in undertaking research within the scope of the RFP.

For many years indigenous knowledge has been considered incompatible with western science, mainly due to the differences in knowledge inquiry and transfer, as well as more fundamental beliefs about the inseparable nature of material and non-material aspects of the universe held by the former. Increasingly however, commonalities between the two are being recognised. Both scientists and indigenous knowledge holders, and in particular practitioners, are beginning to work with each other.

Kia ora koutou katoa,

Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is very pleased to announce its 2014 - 2015 summer internship programme.  This programme is designed for Māori and Indigenous students who are looking to advance their skills and capacity in indigenous development research.

Students will work under the direction and guidance of a senior researcher on a project that aligns with, and contributes to, advancing the research plan of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga.

There are 10 internships available and each is worth $NZD5,000

We are pleased to announce that applications opened on Monday, 4th August, for our Research Methods and Skills Scholarships via the New Zealand Social Statistics Network (NZSSN) programme 2014.

Up to 10 scholarships will be offered to our Māori and Indigenous researchers and tertiary students (undergraduate with the required prerequisites or postgraduate) in our Participating Research Entities to attend any of the short courses offered.
