Emerging Disruptive Technology Assessment Symposium (EDTAS)

The EDTAS series is a key program that helps the Next Generation Technologies Fund future-proof Australian Defence. The series considers expansive science and technology topics that will heavily impact Defence and National Security domains over a 20+ year timeframe.

DST is partnering with universities and industry to co-host these events and help shape strategic planning.

An EDTAS symposium is a mix of leading-edge presentations, thought-provoking workshops, and keynote presentations.

Attendance is via invitation only and the virtual symposium is recorded.

Topics are aligned with and help to shape the future priority areas of the Next Generation Technologies Fund while focussing on the STaR Shot themes.
