Special Event: EU Ambassador to Australia His Excellency Mr Gabriele Visentin and SKA-Low Telescope Director Dr Sarah Pearce

Knowledge for the future: EU and Australia Research Cooperation

Australia and the EU have a long history of productive research collaboration. The EU has maintained a delegation in Australia since 1981, with the first-ever treaty-level and technology agreement signed between the EU and an industrialised country being with Australia in 1994.


This agreement focused on cooperation in fields such as biotechnology, materials science, and new energy technologies, paving the way for future collaborative efforts.


Today, the EU is Australia's third largest trading partner and second largest source of foreign investment. To celebrate Europe Day, the panel will discuss the future of Australia and EU research collaboration in space, artificial intelligence, and technology.


What are the key drivers for cooperation and innovation in space, AI and technology? What can we expect in the coming years in terms of developments and breakthroughs? How can we ensure that our joint efforts lead to a more sustainable, equitable and prosperous future for all?


You are invited to a panel discussion co-hosted by the EU Delegation to Australia​ and the EU Consular Group of WA. The event will commence with a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a networking function with complimentary canapés.


Entry is free, but pre-registration is essential!

The Australian Institute of International Affairs for WA

The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) is an independent, non-profit organisation seeking to promote interest in and understanding of international affairs in Australia.

The WA Branch of the AIIA was founded in 1947 by Professor Fred Alexander of the University of WA, who became its first President. Like the earlier established branches in the other Australian states, the WA Branch was modelled on the British Royal Institute of International Affairs, based at Chatham House in London.

The WA Branch has maintained a steady membership, including many prominent West Australian and national leaders. Successive State Governors have served as the Branch's Official Visitor. The aim of the institute is to be an independent and non-political body that facilitates and encourages the study and debate of international questions.

Membership fees includes a subscription to The Australian Journal of International Affairs as well as two tickets at the member price to each of our our monthly meetings where you will learn about developments in international affairs of concern to the people of Western Australia. We rely on membership contributions and sponsorship of special events to keep our association running: we receive no core funding from government.
