Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) is an independent thinktank that helps Australians understand and use technology to solve complex problems. It was founded in 1975 as one of Australia's four learned Academies. Its original name was the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences, but in 1987 the name was lengthened to include Engineering, as Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering.

In 2015, the Academy adopted a new business name, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, reserving the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering as its company name.

In 2018, the Academy changed its branding from ATSE to Applied, to avoid the confusion caused by the acronym and to reaffirm the Academy's origins in applied science and technology.

Organisation

The Academy consists of a Board, a number of Board Committees, policy-generating Forums, an Assembly and about two dozen professional and administrative staff.[1]

Fellows

Clunies-Ross Award

Founded in 1959 to perpetuate the memory of Sir Ian Clunies Ross, the Ian Clunies Ross Memorial Foundation promoted the development of science and technology in Australia's beneficial interest.

In November 2002, the Foundation was brought under the Academy's umbrella, securing the long-term future of the Awards. It became known as the Clunies Ross Foundation.

The Foundation established the Clunies Ross National Science & Technology Award in 1991. The Foundation was disbanded in 2004 and the Awards are now administered by the Academy in three categories.
