30 June to 2 July @ The University of Waikato

eResearch NZ, as a national forum for discussion, aims to:

• Promote shared approaches to supporting eResearch needs, across institutions and disciplines
• Highlight current and emerging research priorities and discuss how eResearch can enable Research, including by drawing on experience from other regions where similar activities are further progressed and where these initiatives might translate to meet NZ research needs
• Share work in progress and outcomes from projects and programmes employing related technologies, platforms, and approaches.
