Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

Māori leadership and mātauranga Māori are vital and enrich the pursuit of knowledge in Aotearoa. Mātauranga Māori is valued and protected as living knowledge that belongs to its iwi and hapu.

Ecological Wisdom:

Ecosystems and scientific knowledge are interwoven, enhancing, and invigorating each other.

Social Responsibility:

The research and scientific community must be actively supported, transparent, and responsive to Aotearoa’s needs. It must provide direction on critical issues in a way that equitably uplifts the wellbeing of all.

Appropriate Decision-Making:

Transdisciplinary and evidence-based practices guide research, science, and technology, which support decision-making to be precautionary and informed.
