Queenstown Research Week (QRW) is New Zealand’s biggest annual scientific gathering. It is a week of coordinated meetings covering a wide range of areas in biological sciences. The concept has developed from three different iconic New Zealand scientific meetings: the NZ Medical Sciences Congress (MedSci – incorporating the annual meetings of the NZ Society of Endocrinology and Physiological Society of NZ), Queenstown Molecular Biology Meetings, and the Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research. These meetings agreed to co-ordinate their meeting programmes in order to create critical mass, and QRW hosts these and a range of other important focussed satellite meetings each year.
Examples of some of the events on during this week:
- Plenary lecture by Professor Joan Steitz (Lasker award winner)
- Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research
- New Zealand Medical Sciences Congress
- National Biomedical Research Infrastructure Summit
- Satellite on Genome Data Science
- Pūtaiao Māori Summit
