2019 Academy Centenary | Symposium: Inclusive excellence
Fri 15 Feb Symposium to explore how to better measure te hiranga excellence across multiple disciplines.
Tēnā koe
In 2019 we are celebrating he kotahi rau one hundred years of electing Fellows to the Academy of Royal Society Te Apārangi for their outstanding distinction in rangahau research and scholarship.
We invite you to attend our special symposium with the theme of 'inclusive excellence' that will explore how we can better measure te hiranga excellence across multiple disciplines so that we can contine to build diversity in our Academy.
Drawing from our traditional roots of being the first organisation in Aotearoa New Zealand to publish research findings, publication record has been the primary way that distinction in research has been evaluated for our Fellows.
However, our Academy seeks to become more representative and inclusive across the New Zealand research, scholarly and innovation communities. We recognise that publication record alone is likely not the best way of evaluating research distinction. We need a better understanding of how to evaluate contributions and achievements from a range or researchers, scholars and innovators working in many fields — humanities, science including social sciences, medicine, engineering, technology, law and mātauranga Māori — and working and in many contexts — academic, Crown Research or public institutions, corporate organisations or working independently.
Join with us to explore new ways of evaluating excellence in rangahau research and scholraship across these broad topics and different work contexts.
