Symposia overview
We are currently working on the next Frontiers symposium in partnership with the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. The event will take place in October 2024, bringing together leading researchers, innovators and practitioners to address critical issues in the Pacific and South-East Asia regions. The symposium will prioritise themes related to engineering solutions for climate change adaptation and net zero goals, with a broad focus on creating Sustainable Societies.
We are currently finalising the details, but you can register now to secure your spot and stay tuned for regular updates.
Symposium format
- Event structure: at the core of the event there will be three cross-cutting, challenge-led sessions that bridge different disciplines.
- Participants will be: from all disciplines (i.e. not just for engineers!) and sectors, and from all around the world.
- Event cost: There is no cost to participants for attending the event! We welcome a diverse group of participants and offer to cover your travel, accommodation and subsistence costs during the event. We can also cover the costs of most access needs and/or to replace any usual caring responsibilities you may have. If this will help you participate in the event, please contact the team to discuss your circumstances in confidence. Please note: we do not cover usual salary costs.
Post-event funding
Seed funding of up to £20,000 over one year will be awarded to successful collaboration bids from the symposium, designed to strengthen collaborations developed at the symposium.
Can't see the upcoming theme that you want?
The Academy has expertise in curating impactful events. We want to work in partnership with you to achieve community curation around a challenge that is important to you or your organisation. We also have networks in a range of themes, from within and outside engineering, that we can leverage to achieve your goals. To discuss this further, please get in touch.
