The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand, Whitireia and WelTec had the pleasure of co-hosting the 2021 ITP Research Symposium online on 25 and 26 November 2021. The theme for the 2021 symposium was aumangea (resilience), a concept that resonated across the sector through the multiplicities of change and the realities of Covid-19. The event was originally intended to be a kanohi ki te kanohi symposium on site at the Whitireia Campus in Porirua, but as with many conferences and symposia, Covid-19 measures saw it being transformed into a totally online affair. We were humbled to have hosted over 300 delegates and just over 130 abstracts from experienced, emerging and new researchers from diverse discipline areas. The presenters were geographically dispersed across Aotearoa, from the Far North all the way to the Deep South, but committed in their enthusiasm for and appreciation of research even during a worldwide pandemic, which is a true testimony of the ‘resilience’ of our researchers across the sector during testing times. It was also great to see strong representation of researchers particularly from EIT, Toi Ohomai, Unitec and MIT, and the hosting institutes, among others.
