Kanapu is a Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga initiative designed by Māori, for Māori to ignite talent and leadership across Rangahau, Research, Science, Innovation & Technology (RRSIT). Kanapu aims to provide support to Māori who aspire to, or may already operate in this sector, whether it be on marae, within hapū and iwi mahi, or throughout our hapori in the cities.
Kanapu have several free, online initiatives:
Hui Hihiri: National Online Wānanga
Te Ako Rau: Mentoring programme
Tūhono Rau Tangata: Mātanga talks
Tūhono Rau Tangata: Masterclasses
Māori are fundamental to a vibrant Rangahau, Research, Science, Innovation & Technology (RRSIT) sector. Find out more about how you or your whānau may already be operating in these spaces.
