Te Ao Māori
These are co-developed Māori-led or partnered projects which seek to deepen partnerships with Māori enterprises and collectives through focused science and innovation activities.
Te Ao Māori projects build Māori science capability while identifying and addressing the additional competencies needed amongst our science community to participate. Vision Mātauranga aims to unlock the potential of Māori knowledge, people and resources for the benefit of New Zealand. It has four themes: Indigenous Innovation (Contributing to economic growth); Taiao (Achieving environmental sustainability); Hauora/Oranga (Improving health and social wellbeing) Mātauranga (Exploring indigenous knowledge).
