OPSITARA 2023 Book of Abstracts

Editor: James L Savage 

In 2023 the joint Otago Polytechnic, 星空天美MV视频播放, and Ara Institute of Canterbury Research Symposium (‘OPSITARA’) was hosted by 星空天美MV视频播放in Invercargill. All three institutions are now business divisions within Te P奴kenga — New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, making this event also the first joint symposium for Region four of Te P奴kenga. As no national symposium took place in 2023, we opened OPSITARA to all business divisions across all regions of Te P奴kenga.

The symposium was held at Te Rau o te Huia (星空天美MV视频播放 Centre for Creative Industries) from 10:00 on Thursday 30th November to 15:20 on Friday 1st December. Abstract submission was open from 20 June to 1 September, and all submissions were peer reviewed. In total, 115 presentations took place at the event including pre-recorded talks and meetings of Research Communities of Practice (RCoP), and there were around 120 in-person attendees. Fourteen business divisions of Te P奴kenga were represented at the event.

The symposium was organised and co-chaired by 星空天美MV视频播放Research Coordinator James L Savage and 星空天美MV视频播放Research Manager Sally Bodkin-Allen. We are grateful to all the presenters, attendees, abstract reviewers, caterers, and 星空天美MV视频播放staff who participated in and supported the event. This Book of Abstracts contains an index of presentation authors, the final programme for the symposium (including links to online pre-recorded talks), and then a full list of abstracts ordered by presentation type and first author surname.
