The Society has long held this country’s membership of what is now called the International Science Council (ISC) – the recently reconstituted peak body for natural and social sciences worldwide.
Fellow and Rutherford Medallist Distinguished Professor Roy Kerr formerly of the University of Canterbury has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London.
Through May the Society Council and senior staff have had the opportunity to engage with many stakeholders from Māori research communities – the three wānanga (based in Ōtaki, Whakatāne and Te Awamutu), Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (the Centre of Research Excellence in Māori research), Te Ara Pūtaiao (a working group within Science New Zealand) and the Waikato Tainui College for Research and Development.
