Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium 2025

Tēnā koutou e ngā ringa rangahau, ngā kai rangahau o Ngāti Kahungunu, o te rohe rānei, tēnā tātau katoa.

Nau mai, haere mai – join us for the Ringa Rangahau Research Symposium 2025!

This is our third symposium celebrating Māori research and researchers from Te Matau-a-Māui | Hawke’s Bay, across the motu, and abroad.

While we focus on strengthening Māori research capacity and capability in our rohe, we warmly welcome attendees interested in kaupapa Māori research and collaborative partnerships across Aotearoa and beyond.

Dates: 9–11 July 2025
Venue: Te Aho a Māui | Eastern Institute of Technology
Location: Te Ara a Tāwhaki, Te Ūranga Waka, Ahuriri

This symposium is a unique opportunity to:

• Share your research at home, on your own whenua
• Connect and collaborate with others in our rohe and beyond
• Support the growth of Ngāti Kahungunu Māori research capacity and capability

“Nō Ngāti Kahungunu, mō Ngāti Kahungunu” – koirā te karanga.

From our experienced mātanga to the pī ka rere just beginning their research journey, we all have something to contribute. Let’s come together, strengthen our networks, and inspire the next generation of ringa rangahau o Ngāti Kahungunu.
