MBIE ECR Workshop Tuesday 8 March
Hi all,
A few of us received an email from MBIE on Friday, inviting us to a new ECR workshop on Tuesday afternoon. I'm interpreting the wording of this email invite to mean everyone who wants to attend is welcome, so if you didn't get an invite, this is me sharing it around. I've uploaded the agenda and calendar invite to the file section of this ECR space, let me know if you have any issues and I'll fwd the email itself to you.
Kia ora koutou
I am emailing you because you have been suggested to us as early career researchers and research staff (ECRs) who may be interested in Te Ara Paerangi Future Pathways programme. We would like to invite you to the Te Ara Paerangi consultation workshop for early career researchers, which will be held on Tuesday 8 March between 1pm and 4pm. Please feel free to pass this invitation on to other ECRs who may be interested in attending this workshop – we only ask that they respond to the attached calendar invite if possible so we know if we need extra breakout groups (however, we won’t turn people away if they forget!).
The workshop will be delivered via Zoom – please use the below details to access the workshop.

Meeting ID: 846 6526 9627
Passcode: 000851
The session will follow usual Zoom etiquette:
Please make sure the name on your Zoom window is your name.
Keep your camera on (where possible)
Mute your mic
Use the “raise hand” reaction during Q & A times if you want to ask a question
Use the chat function for general commentary
We have also attached a one page outline of the session, which contains the key questions our facilitators will be asking. This session is similar in scope to our Workforce workshops, but with a focus on three breakout topics to enable deeper discussion of the issues and potential options. Please take 5 minutes to look over this before the session, and please feel welcome to come with your own questions for the group or for MBIE. The breakout sessions will involve breaking into smaller groups of approximately 6-10 people to support in-depth discussion and participation. You will be randomly assigned a breakout group and facilitator at the session – please email futurepathways@mbie.govt.nz if you have a preferred facilitator (names in the attached agenda) and we will allocate you to their breakout group. There is a help desk WhatsApp channel set up should you have any process or technical difficulties. You can access this via this link https://chat.whatsapp.com/FIj4mibT7E5ALnQxkdqiuK (on your mobile works best).
