Hui Hihiri are wānanga that bring together Māori researchers, practitioners, specialists and leaders across the research, science, innovation, and technology (RSIT) sector for networking, knowledge sharing, and collaborative discussion relevant to our regions. Each hui focuses on reinvigorating, connecting, nurturing and accelerating Māori capability and leadership within the RSIT sector.
Hui Hihiri 2026 will be a hybrid event, with invited guests joining us in-person and a livestreamed, online event for all to enjoy. A small group of early-career Māori and mentors in the RSIT sector will gather in Kirikiriroa, but most of us will participate online from around the motu.
Nau mai, whakahiko mai. Kia kanapu te rangi i a tātou.
