Queenstown Research Week is New Zealand’s biggest annual scientific gathering. It is a week of co-ordinated meetings covering a wide range of areas in biological sciences. The concept has developed from three different iconic New Zealand scientific meetings: the NZ Medical Sciences Congress (MedSci – incorporating the annual meetings of the NZ Society of Endocrinology and Physiological Society of NZ), Queenstown Molecular Biology Meetings, and the Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research.
This year there will also be the new Pūtaio Māori and Infrastructure Summit on 31 August. This one-day workshop highlights the increasing presence of Māori in contemporary rangahau pūtaiao (scientific research) and provides examples of the scope of activities and associated Te Ao-Māori-centred issues.
