He Waka Tāngata
He Waka Tāngata is a forum of eight highly talented researchers who are among the emerging leaders in the social science community. MoRST has set up this group to foster leadership in the social sciences and to find new ways to increase the role and impact of social research in New Zealand.
This group builds on our successful Oxygen Group established in 2005 as a cross-science-sector initiative designed to better connect us with younger scientists.
