Celebrating World-Class Waikato Science

Hamilton city and the Waikato community has come together to recognise and honour the region's world-class science expertise.

With over $46,500 in cash rewards and prizes on offer, the region's most amazing discoveries are being taken 'off the shelf' so local researchers can be given the kudos they deserve.

(the) KuDos - the Hamilton Science Excellence Awards - were launched in June 2007 and are now an annual celebration of local scientific innovations impacting the Waikato region, New Zealand and the world.

Why celebrate? Because Hamilton City, combined with the wider Waikato region, is a hothouse of innovation. . . .

The city is home to 40,000 tertiary students and over 1,000 PhD scientists.
25% of the country's research takes place in and around the city.
Ruakura Research Centre, located on the outskirts of the city, is the largest agricultural and horticultural research institution of its type in the Southern Hemisphere and boasts an international reputation in many biotech fields.
Plus, some of the country's most significant medical, environmental and ICT discoveries have come out of the region's commercial and research organisations.
