In a historic moment in Waiariki's history a MOU was signed with SCION Research on Tuesday 20th April at Tangatarua Marae.
This MOU will encourage both parties to find ways to work together in the future to ensure the long term sustainability and growth of an industry that employs many, many people in the Central North Island region.
SCION is the premiere research and development organisation in New Zealand tasked with growing and developing the Forest Industry in New Zealand.
Waiariki and the Forestry School look forward to the opportunities that lie ahead in the future as we work together.
An excellent number of attendees from SCION were in attendance including Doctor Brian Richardson, who stood in for Doctor Tom Richardson who had a prior appointment.
An excellent number of senior managers and Council representatives were present to represent Waiariki Institute of Technology including the outgoing Council Chairman Tupara Morrison, Te Mana Matauranga representative Pihopa Kingi.
