About us
TAIAO is a data science programme funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment, which aims to improve the accessibility and usability of environmental data for researchers, scientists, and the wider community.
The programme is a collaboration between several universities and organisations, including the Universities of Waikato, Auckland, Canterbury, and Victoria University Wellington, as well as Beca and MetService.
Vision Mātauranga
TAIAO aims to provide a pathway towards our Vision Mātauranga theme: "Achieving Environmental Sustainability through Iwi and Hapū relationships with Land and Sea".
Through this work, we will be able to provided accessible capability and access to big datasets that allow iwi groups and researchers to improve the ability to manage environmental conditions in relevant iwi whenua.
Vision Mātauranga is guided by the principle of co-governance where we work alongside iwi to build Māori data science capacity and capability.
