2020 Research Honours Aotearoa
56
In 2020, the Research Honours Aotearoa awards looked a little different. Due to COVID-19 and the need to restrict gathering size, we hosted three regional events across Aotearoa rather than one national event. These local gatherings were held during Whiringa-ā-rangi November. They focused on connecting and sharing with one another while celebrating the mahi of Aotearoa’s leading scholars and kairangahau researchers. The first event at Government House was warmly hosted by our Patron, the Rt Hon Dame Patsy Reddy, Governor-General of New Zealand. The Academy of Royal Society Te Apārangi assesses the nominations for selecting the winners of these medals and awards.
