Join the ‘movers and shakers’ and the best and brightest minds across the public service and private sectors, research institutes and universities, mana whenua and communities – all involved in enhancing Aotearoa’s biosecurity and protecting the natural heritage that makes New Zealand uniquely New Zealand at the two-day event in Wellington this April.
BioHeritage National Science Challenge’s fourth (and final) conference at Te Papa in April 2024 is a science conference like no other. Showcasing new approaches, bold achievements, and empowering engagement of the last decade, the conference will ask the question: what next – how can we build on this momentum?
Past events in 2017, 2019, and 2022 have brought together representatives from over one hundred different stakeholders and organisations, including policy and management agencies, CRIs and IROs, industry and entrepreneurs, communities and NGOs, Māori and iwi, international and influential experts. The conference provides a wonderful opportunity to connect not just with key decision-makers, thought leaders, the media, sector experts and agency heads, but also with a wide range of Māori leaders, knowledge holders and researchers from across the motu, as well as world-leading researchers and early-career scientists – the implementers of innovation and our future leaders in science.
