Event | Emerging Disruptive Technology Assessment Symposium

DST will be hosting an Emerging and Disruptive Technology Assessment Symposium (EDTAS) on Advanced Materials and Manufacturing on the 28-29 November at Cargo Hall in Melbourne.

The EDTAS series helps future-proof Australian Defence by utilising the Next Generation Technologies Fund to consider an expansive science and technology topic that heavily impacts Defence and National Security domains over a 20+ year timeframe.

The objective of this symposium is to shape future Defence research and preparations for emerging and disruptive trends in Advanced Materials and Manufacturing (AM&M).

This event will consider AM&M technologies in 2040, application in 2040 scenarios, capability concepts, and; drivers, barriers and implications for AM&M adoption.

A key outcome from the symposium will be a Big Picture Assessment Report developed through the workshop contributions of all attendees.

This symposium will provide participants with opportunities to network and partner, gain an understanding of particular strategic and S&T challenges, and provide input to shape long term Defence and National Security guidance.
