The International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS) is a global network dedicated to advancing engineering, technology, and sustainability for the benefit of society.
CAETS is an independent nonpolitical, non-governmental, international organization of engineering and technological sciences academies, one member academy per country, that advances the following objectives:
- Provide an independent nonpolitical and non-governmental international forum for enlightened dialog and communication of engineering and technological sciences;
- Contribute to advancing engineering and technological sciences in order to promote economic growth, sustainable development, and societal well-being throughout the world;
- Foster collaboration and the development of bi- and multilateral programs between the member academies;
- Prepare science-based proposals in order to advise governments and international organizations on policy issues related to engineering and technology development;
- Promote diversity and inclusion in the global engineering profession;
- Promote ethics in engineering education, research and practice;
- Contribute to continuous improvement and modernization of engineering education and practice internationally;
- Foster a balanced public understanding of the applications of engineering and technology; and
- Foster establishment of additional engineering academies in countries where none exist.
