TERN is delighted to announce its Biennial Science Symposium will be held on Wednesday and Thursday 2-3 July 2025 at the Queensland State Library in Brisbane, Australia.

It is 15 years since TERN published its first data, so we are anticipating some great talks on use of TERN data to advance ecosystem science, build collaborative projects and as a catalyst for innovation, outreach and translation.

Join us at the TERN 2025 Science Symposium in Brisbane. It 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. The event allows for in-person and online participation, fostering networking and professional learning.

Don’t miss this chance to engage with leading experts and be at the forefront of ecosystem science.
