An important national forum  

For the last 17 years, the eResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa conference series has provided an important national forum for strategic discussions, community building, and career development.  

This annual event brings together communities who are exploring or innovating the ways digital tools and techniques can be used to advance research outcomes.

Through presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities, the conference aspires to: 

  • Showcase innovative work-in-progress or recent project results where digital tools were applied. 

  • Highlight current and emerging priorities, trends, and best practices in eResearch approaches. 

  • Provide opportunities for skills training, professional development, and mentoring in digital research tools and eResearch applications. 

  • Draw experience and inspiration from research programs and projects in other regions. 

  • Build communities of practice that foster and support collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and Vision Mātauranga approaches. 

  • Work collaboratively with mana whenua organisations to foster mutually beneficial contributions to the eResearch NZ / eRangahau Aotearoa programme.
