Research WeekTe Wiki Rangahau

Join us for AUT’s Research Week - Te Wiki Rangahau 2024 from 9 to 13 September, focusing on partnerships for impact. As New Zealand’s only university of technology, AUT conducts research that has real-world, practical impacts. To achieve those impacts, we often partner with collaborators in industry, not-for-profits, local iwi, government and community groups.

We welcome our external research partners and collaborators to join AUT staff and research students for Research Week 2024; a week of presentations, conversations and connections.
