OPSITARA Research
Kia ora! Nau mai, ki te putanga o Hōngongoi o Relevant Research.
Welcome to Relevant Research, June-July 2024 edition.
The call for abstracts is still open for the annual OPSITARA research symposium, hosted this year by Ara in Ōtautahi Christchurch. This is a great opportunity for collegial networking, discovering more about research across our divisions and inspiring future research and collaborations. Remember to submit your abstracts by 12 August.
This issue of Relevant Research features innovations in drone photography, lessons learned from using AI in education, keeping our roads safe from natural disasters, marketing for good causes and kindness in the kitchen.
We hope you enjoy reading these research stories from across the rohe. With the next issue, we return to our usual monthly schedule.
