Whakauae Research Services forms part of the twenty-one entities that collaborate with Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga to to seek solutions and create positive change in our communities.
Our staff member, Rachel Brown attended the second Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga Principal Investigators Wānanga in 2018 hosted at Wakatū Marae, Nelson.
Principal Investigators from all around the motu gathered to share information on funded projects that fall under three key themes, Whai Rawa (Māori Economy), Te Tai Ao (Environment) and Mauri Ora (Human Flourishing). Whakauae Services is involved in two projects under these themes. Our Research Director, Dr Amohia Boulton was awarded a seeding grant to determine the cultural, ethical, research, legal and scientific (CERLS) framework for addressing issues on future Rongoā Māori research. Both Rachel and Amohia are involved in a collaborative research project; Hospital Transfers: whānau involvement in the healing equation with the University of Auckland and Waikato University.
Over 30 participants were invited to take part in an interactive wānanga over three days. The wānanga incorporated local history, project information sessions and updates as well as discussions and input into the up and coming Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga review and the new research platforms. The interactive component of the wānanga included several site visits and activities. The first was hosted by Wakatū Incorporation and Kono NZ at Aronui Wines, creating further informal opportunities to network and discuss research. Rachel noted “it was a chance to not only talk about business and innovation alongside science, but it gave us an opportunity to be involved in hands on activity with local iwi initiatives on their land”.
The Cawthron Institute hosted an additional two site visits including a hands-on laboratory experience at their Aquaculture Park – which has among its partners Moana NZ and Kono. Participants were allowed entry into Cawthron's scampi and salmon research laboratories. The second outing hosted by Cawthron included a ‘walking wānanga' at the Mahitahi River and involved engagement with tangata whenua and researchers about freshwater research with Māori communities. This wānanga like its predecessor enabled research in action. Participants formed new friendships and networks as well as new collaborations for future research.
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga is currently considering options for future wānanga to be hosted in different parts of the country where research partners like Whakauae are established.
