AUT Wiki Rangahau | Research Week 2026 will take place from Monday 31 August to Friday 4 September 2026. This annual celebration of discovery, innovation, and impact is one of the most anticipated events in our academic calendar – and this year, it promises to focus on what makes our university unique.
AUT has always had a point of difference in New Zealand’s higher education landscape. As the nation’s only university of technology, we are driven not only to generate knowledge, but to put that knowledge to work. This year’s Research Week theme, “Applying Research and Technology for Good,” captures exactly that spirit.
While the full programme will be announced soon, you can look forward to:
- The Postgraduate Research Symposium celebrating our talented research student community
- 3 Minute Thesis competition finals showcasing exceptional doctoral research communicators
- Presentations from leading researchers and innovators
- Showcases and exhibitions highlighting cutting-edge AUT research projects
- Networking opportunities to connect with researchers and industry partners
We look forward to seeing you there. Let’s celebrate the power of research and technology to do good in the world!
