ACCELERATE 2035 Summit will convene Australia’s most influential leaders across all sectors of research, government, industry and the Learned Academies, to collectively shape the national energy research priorities needed to support Australia’s energy transition towards Net Zero.

The Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) in partnership with the Net Zero Economy Authority seeks to:

Identify the critical energy research required to meet Australia's 2030, 2035 and 2050 targets

Survey the research gaps and articulate the most pressing challenges, risks, and opportunities across the energy system

Bring together insights from science, engineering, economics, social sciences, First Nations engagement, regulation, finance and industry innovation

Establish the foundational research directions essential for guiding policy, investment and national decision-making for an effective energy transition

Ensure Australia moves forward with a holistic, cross-sector approach grounded in evidence and shared priorities

Summit outputs will include a summary statement that will feed into a new Australian Energy Transition Research Plan 2026, aligned with Net Zero policies and timed to inform COP31 discussions.

Please note: This event has limited seating. Early registration is essential to secure a place.
