Advancing Indigenous Innovation in Science and Technology Workshop
Tuesday 25th June 2019, 9am - 4pm
University of Waikato
How do Indigenous people ‘connect’ with cutting edge science? Is it as passive recipients of new technologies or is there an active engagement to change how high-tech science is conceived and developed? This one day workshop considers how Indigenous people are actively using Indigenous knowledge, processes and approaches to change how cutting edge science is undertaken.
Registrations are essential as numbers are limited to 100. Register here
