- Shaping new futures – Speakers from a range of disciplines showcasing researchers operating at the cutting edge of their field.
- Evolution of eResearch Infrastructure – Enablers / infrastructure work streams discussing the trends and/or showcasing how researchers are using developments in technology to further their research.
- Growing and supporting our people – Speakers from a range of disciplines focused on retaining and developing talent, and building communities of practice.
- Embedding Te Tiriti – Speakers exploring and celebrating what best practice looks like.
