The Conference on the Application of Esperanto in Science and Technology (Esperanto: Konferenco pri Aplikoj de Esperanto en Scienco kaj Tekniko, KAEST) is a biennial conference on the application of the constructed international auxiliary language Esperanto in the science and technology community.

The conference first took place in 1978 in Czechoslovakia. Following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, it remained in the Czech Republic until it was transferred in 2010 to Slovakia, where it is currently being organized by the nonprofit organization E@I. The 2012 KAEST in Modra, Slovakia included a Wikipedia workshop aimed at both beginners and advanced users, organized in cooperation with Wikimedia Slovakia.^[1]
