Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering
The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering 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 extended, with the addition of 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 brandmark from ATSE to Applied, to avoid the confusion caused by the acronym and to reaffirm the Academy’s origins in applied science and technology.

Clunies-Ross Award
The Clunies-Ross Foundation was founded in 1959 to perpetuate the memory of Sir Ian Clunies Ross, and promote the development of science and technology in Australia’s beneficial interest. In November 2002, the Foundation was brought under the umbrella of the ATSE.[7]
The Clunies Ross National Science & Technology Award was established in 1991. It is now called the ATSE Clunies Ross Award, and is awarded for the application of science and technology for the economic, social or environmental benefit of Australia.[7]
A catalogue of awardees and the reasons for their awards can be found on the ATSE website.[8]
