ATSE’s policy priorities are determined by our Fellows, national in focus and cut across the breadth of our activities
Mitigating and adapting to climate change
ATSE is at the forefront of supporting Australia's transition to a low carbon future. We advise decision makers on technology-led pathways toward net zero emissions, transforming energy systems, developing sustainable agriculture and water management, building resilient infrastructure and supporting biodiversity and human health.
Enhancing research collaboration, translation and commercialisation
Lifting our industrial and business productivity through research, innovation and collaboration is a key priority for Australia. Our global competitiveness depends significantly on the ability to translate investment in science, research and development into economic benefits, and to lift productivity through the uptake of new technology and innovations.
Inspiring and educating young people in STEM
Demand for STEM skills in Australia is clear, presenting an opportunity to grow high-skilled Australian jobs. With a growing STEM skills crisis, it's critical Australia invests in a future workforce capable of applying STEM to our biggest challenges. This starts in schools.
As a national Academy working towards global solutions for issues such as climate change, health challenges and food security, ATSE strives towards achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its activities.
