The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE) is an independent learned academy that helps Australians understand and use technology to solve complex problems.

History

The Australian Academy of Technological Sciences was founded by Ian McLennan in 1975 in Melbourne.

In 1987 the name was lengthened to include engineering, as the 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.

Organisation

ATSE operates as an independent, non-government, not-for-profit, chartered organisation.

As of 2020 it was composed of nearly 900 fellows, bringing together Australia’s leading experts in applied science, technology, and engineering, to provide impartial, practical and evidence-based advice on how to achieve sustainable solutions and advance prosperity.

The academy's governance structure consists of a board, an assembly (strategic advisory body), a number of board committees, policy-generating forums, state- and territory-based divisions, and a professional secretariat.

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.
