We run programs focusing on improving STEM education and career paths, achieving greater gender equity and diversity, and connecting globally for the benefit of Australia.
We also run a number of prestigious awards which recognise excellence across a range of disciplines.
Programs
STEM in schools
We’re addressing the problem of low participation rates in STEM subjects by developing teaching modules that tap into students’ concerns about global warming, climate change and sustainability. Our STEM education in schools program is called STELR (Science Technology – Leveraging Relevance).
Awards
David and Valerie Solomon Award
The David and Valerie Solomon Award is a new early-mid career award for a science or technology graduate working in academia/research or industry R&D who demonstrates substantial ability to foster research-industry collaboration and knowledge transfer for the benefit of Australia.
CAETS Awards
CAETS Communication Prizes
The International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS), of which ATSE is a founding member, is launching two annual Communications Prizes.
The prizes recognise compelling technology and engineering innovations that are communicated in an inspiring way to the public, and in particular the technologists and engineers of the future.
