Generations

An International symposium shaping a sustainable future in 50 years

 

The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences & Engineering (ATSE) is delighted to host the 2025 annual conference of the International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS).

Under the theme of Generations, CAETS 2025 will delve into how we can collectively shape a sustainable future over the next 50 years through STEM. Join us from Monday 8 September – Thursday 11 September 2025 in the vibrant city of Brisbane, in Queensland Australia, as we embark on a journey to envision the technology and sustainable systems needed for a thriving 2075.

CAETS 2025 coincides with our 50th anniversary and will bring together global technologists and innovators, in a gathering of over 30 countries for a special event that looks back to move forward.

Ahead of United Nations Climate Conference (CoP 31) which Australia is bidding to host in 2026, the event will look at how science and technology will play a role in responding to climate change and shaping the sustainable systems needed for a thriving future.

Program

The program for CAETS 2025 is carefully curated to facilitate meaningful discussions, foster collaboration across generations, and cultivate partnerships that will drive positive change. CAETS 2025 features several days of discussions between international Academies of engineering and technological sciences and technical tours in the city, as well as the 1-day symposium on the 10th of September. 

With renowned speakers, engaging plenary sessions, and interactive concurrent streams, attendees to the symposium will have numerous opportunities for learning, networking and situating themselves in the global move towards a sustainable future in 50 years.

We are also thrilled to offer opportunities for attendees to immerse themselves in Brisbane's vibrant culture, including through our CAETS Gala Dinner at the historic City Hall and site tours of the city’s STEM innovation centres.

Join us at CAETS 2025 as we embark on a journey of reflection, discovery, and transformation. Your expertise will be an invaluable contribution as we collectively build a sustainable world for generations to come.
