Te Kura Matatini ki Otago (Otago Polytechnic) bi-annual Māori Research Symposium provides a valuable opportunity for kairakahau Māori (Māori researchers) and scholars to present research and connect with each other.

The objectives of the OP Māori Symposium are to:

Nurture research conducted by kaimahi Māori (Māori staff) and tauira (students) from around Aotearoa New Zealand.
Provide opportunities to share Māori research fields and expertise.
Showcase the depth and breadth of Māori-led and Māori partnered research.
Explore the range of research being conducted to empower our communities.

This is the fourth Māori symposium hosted by Te Kura Matatini ki Otago, following Tā Moko in 2014, Mauri Ora 2018, and Kaitiakitaka 2020.

This year’s Māori Research Symposium will be held on October 17, exploring the theme of tino rakatirataka. Researchers are encouraged to submit abstracts that consider the theme and how it is practiced across a broad range of contexts including but not limited to empowering Māori communities, mātauraka Māori and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Morning tea and hangi will be provided.
