20th edition of the New Zealand Mathematics and Statistics Postgraduate (NZMASP) conference

The NZMASP conference is a yearly event run for and by postgraduate students in Mathematics and Statistics across all New Zealand universities. The main purpose is to share research and build long-lasting relationships and professional collaborations. 

In addition to this Humanitix form you must also complete the Google Form link found either in the registration email or the NZMASP website.

If you are buying tickets on behalf of someone else, please select the "email tickets to participants" option at the buyer information stage of checkout, or forward them the tickets once checkout is complete.

Talks

All participants are expected to give a 15 minutes presentation and have the opportunity to win prizes.

Please note that your presentation does not have to be about your current research project. You may give a presentation on a topic other than your research area, provided that the content is relevant and appropriate for the audience.

Your final presentation title and abstract must be submitted via the aforementioned Google Form by the 1st of November. This is a hard deadline as the committee needs time to review the submissions and create a programme.

Please note that any submission after the deadline will not be included in the conference programme.

Eligibility

Any postgraduate student at a tertiary institution in New Zealand who works with mathematics or statistics is eligible to register. We will ask for some details of your programme and institution at checkout. We do want to encourage a diverse community of attendees, so please get in touch if you are unsure if you are eligible.

Evening events

There will be two social events which we strongly encourage our attendees to participate. 

The first one is an icebreaker, informal night hosted in the early evening of the first day of the conference (Tuesday 18th of November) at OGH (the University's Common Rom Club) from 5pm.

The second event is a boardgame + quiz night at Dice & Fork, taking place on Thursday 20th of November from 6pm.
