At Royal Society Te Apārangi, our Vision is for an Aotearoa New Zealand that is guided and inspired by science and research.
The Society has developed a long-term strategy that will guide us over the next 20 years, to our 175th anniversary in 2042. It reflects our ambition to be an organisation that makes a positive difference in our nation. Our Values, outlined in the strategy, are:
- Collaboration
- Diversity, Equity and inclusivity
- Critical thinking
- Integrity
- Sustainability
- Transparency
The Future-Fit Business program is clearly aligned with the Society’s long-term strategy and our strategic priorities.
As a Future-Fit Engaged organisation, we have commenced our journey by identifing three priority Break-even Goals and have begun work to improve the Future-Fit performance of Royal Society Te Apārangi. Our aspiration is to be a Future-Fit System Changer and we have committed to undertaking a full benchmarking process!
The role of Royal Society Te Apārangi: we support New Zealanders to explore, discover and share knowledge.
To prepare for our biggest challenges, we need evidence based information that will help us to understand the issues and make good decisions on what to do. This is why exploring and creating knowledge, sharing that knowledge and celebrating it has been, and always will be, critical to a thriving Aotearoa New Zealand.
