Research Seminar Series

The research seminars are for staff members of the School and visitors to present their current research and in this way share their ideas with, and receive feedback from the academic community as well as the wider public, including professionals. Everybody is welcome. Papers are available at the venue or from the website in PDF format or from Inez Goldsworthy (Palmerston North) and Hori Pirini (Albany).

In general, seminars are held on Wednesday from 12:00pm to 2:00pm (although we may be able to accommodate seminar presentations at other times). Subject to availability of a suitable time slot, the School will contribute towards travel costs and accommodation (where appropriate) for visitors from outside Palmerston North or Auckland.
