Education & Training
Sharing knowledge & building skills
NIWA is committed to education in New Zealand at all levels. In the tertiary sector, we work through the Institute of Aquatic and Atmospheric Sciences (IAAS) and the joint Centres of Excellence that have been formally established with some universities. We also contribute widely to professional development training courses for environmental agencies in New Zealand and the South Pacific. For secondary and primary schools, we’re involved in international and national programmes.
Training Courses
NIWA offers a wide range of courses each year, presented at a number of venues according to need and the level of interest.
Science and Technology Fairs
NIWA is the major sponsor for many Regional Science and Technology Fairs.
