The TERN Science Symposium 2025 is the forum that brings together ecosystem researchers, students, government and industry as they give an update on their latest research, technological developments, data system innovations and collaborations.

In 2025 we are particularly interested to explore how the outputs and outcomes of research by our partners and the TERN science community can or do influence:

• Biocomplexity – how, what, where and why

• Greenhouse gases – carbon and others

• About the future – e.g. modelling, predicting, forecasting, simulating, scenarios

• Monitoring methods – e.g. Standards, collections and technology innovations

• About data – e.g. Infrastructure, synthesis, trust, sensitivities, vocabularies

• Innovations in education, skills, training or research initiatives

• Earth Observations and in-situ validation

• Impact stories - e.g. leveraging TERN research infrastructure and data to contribute to the sustainable management of Australia’s environment in any of these areas: agriculture, forestry, mining, public health, tourism, services and consulting, natural hazard risk, renewable energy.

Who can participate?

We welcome contributions from all who have a passion for ecosystem science. Achieving national and global goals around biodiversity, responsible stewardship, remediation of damage and quality of life will entail embracing cross-disciplinary, cross-jurisdictional and cross-cultural discussion and collaboration.
