Piki Ake will also allow our universities to connect, coordinate and share best practice. This in turn will drive long-lasting institutional cultural change and transformation that will benefit future generations of Māori researchers.
Supported by the New Zealand Vice Chancellors Committee and funded by MBIE, Piki Ake is a joint initiative led and designed by Te Kāhui Amokura and the Research Committee at Universities New Zealand – Te Pōkai Tara.
The Piki Ake transition programme is a whole-of-university sector initiative designed to grow the Māori academic workforce.
Aimed at Māori postgraduate students, the programme will provide participants with a greater understanding of an ‘academic career’ and working within the academy.
Through dedicated ‘Manu Taupua’ roles, the Piki Ake transition programme will provide local ongoing support for participants as they work through online modules and will facilitate a series of ā-kanohi wānanga.
