This event combines the Osteoarthritis Aotearoa New Zealand Research Network | Te Anga Kaikōiwi o Aotearoa conference (Day One - Friday, 18 July) and the Taumata Osteoarthritis Aotearoa | New Zealand and Osteoarthritis Summit 2025 (Day Two - Saturday, 19 July).

Participants may register for either one or both the days.

The Osteoarthritis Aotearoa New Zealand Research Network Te Anga Kaikōiwi o Aotearoa annual conference brings together the osteoarthritis research community of Aotearoa, to hear about exciting current research, facilitate new collaborations, and build capability and capacity in the osteoarthritis research sector. We invite submissions to present your recent, current or ongoing, or proposed research – early career researchers are encouraged to participate (travel scholarships are available to ECRs submitting abstracts for consideration).

The Taumata Osteoarthritis Aotearoa New Zealand OA Summit aims to facilitate strategic planning for a national response to the growing burden of OA and its consequences, and to galvanise action on addressing this.
