Queensland Chinese Association of Scientists and Engineers

About Us

Introduction to QCASE

On 25 July 2002, a representative group of Chinese scientific and engineering professionals incorporated the Queensland Chinese Association of Scientists and Engineers (QCASE).

The founders of QCASE work in universities, educational institutions, research organisations, high-tech companies and governments in Queensland.

QCASE is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit professional organisation for Chinese scientists and engineers in Queensland. We promote cooperation between Australia and China in science, technology and education.

QCASE memberships

QCASE membership is open to any person or organisation interested in, and supportive of, the Association’s objectives.

We welcome people who:

  • have received a tertiary or equivalent education, and who have established professional careers in science, education, engineering, the arts and/or business

Our services

QCASE provides our members with:

All of our members are invited to volunteer for work with established committees and projects, and to pursue new projects, in accordance with the objectives and rules of the Association under the guidance of the QCASE Council.

Since its establishment, QCASE has hosted and organised many conferences and events to exchange scientific and technological knowledge between China and Australia.

For example, in 2016, QCASE organised the Australia–China Science, Technology, Commercialisation and Innovation Forum. Over 200 people attended the forum, including 12 academicians of the Academy of Science and the Academy of Engineering from both China and Australia. Media outlets such as CCTV-International, Phoenix Television and People’s Daily reported on the event.
