Publicly released:
A new report says that a focus on wellbeing, strengthening collaborations, and Tiriti-based funding guidelines are among a number of strategies that could support Māori contributions to the research, science, and innovation sector. The report also offers guidance for Māori researchers and communities from kōrero shared at the Te Kura Roa 2024 wānanga and reflects on the history of Māori involvement and leadership in research since 1991. Its final fifteen recommendations include support for Māori Chief Science Advisors, regional Mātauranga Māori hubs, and a Mātauranga Māori Commission outside of the public service.
