The New Zealand Association of Scientists is joining with panellists from across the research system to take a look back at the last four years of the Te Ara Paerangi research sector reform programme. What did we gain from Te Ara Paerangi? What did we learn about the possible futures of our research system as envisioned by researchers across the motu? And how can we as a sector ensure that we keep our attention and advocacy focused on the change we want to see?
