National Indigenous Engineering Summit

Hosted by The University of Melbourne, this year's Summit will explore how culture contributes to knowledge and how Indigenous knowledges, engineering, and education can come together to shape future systems of research, practice, and teaching.

01 Oct 2026, 9:00am 02 Oct 2026, 5:00pm

Melbourne Connect, The Forum (Level M)

The 2-day summit will be held on the Parkville campus at the University of Melbourne between Thursday 1 October to Friday 2 October 2026.

This year's Summit will explore how culture contributes to knowledge and how Indigenous knowledges, engineering, and education can come together to shape future systems of research, practice, and teaching.

There will be an optional cultural activity conducted prior to the Summit on Wednesday 30 September, that we also invite you to attend.

This year’s Summit will continue to explore the four evolving pillars:

Growing Indigenous Participation in Engineering and IT
Celebrating and Elevating Indigenous Engineering Knowledge
Improving Digital Competencies and Community Access to Engineering and Technology Solutions
Fostering Cross Cultural Competence in Engineering and IT

The Summit aims to bring Indigenous engineering and IT students together, as well as registered attendees representing engineering or tech companies, universities and community organisations that are passionate about amplifying collaborations and supporting pathways for Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering (STEM).

The day will be grounded in networking and inclusion, providing a meaningful space to bring colleagues together and drive a network of supporters for a national community within Indigenous engineering and IT.
