Key information

We invite policy makers, industry, researchers and those working in health to join us as we showcase Otago’s groundbreaking health research – driving innovation, informing policy and creating real world impact across Aotearoa and the world.By bringing together leading researchers, collaborators, and stakeholders, we seek to strengthen existing partnerships and forge new connections that will enhance the translation of research from fundamental discoveries to real-world applications.

The day will include a series of short talks and panel discussions around 4 key themes:

• Healthy Aotearoa: bold ideas for a better future
• Sustainable science: how can science help us live better and protect our resources?
• Emerging enterprise: how can science, innovation, and technology drive commercial opportunities?
• Southern Skies, Global Science: Health Discoveries in Space
