Australian Combustion Symposium 2025 — Clean Combustion in a Changing and Decarbonised Energy World

The biennial meeting is Australia's preeminent conference in the field of combustion. It continues the tradition of a well-established series of events, including previous conferences held in Darwin (2023), Toowoomba (2021), Adelaide (2019), Sydney (2017), Melbourne (2015), and Perth (2013). These conferences are organized by the Australia and New Zealand section of the Combustion Institute.

The upcoming Australian Combustion Symposium 2025 is to be held at the University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus, Brisbane, Queensland.
