Congratulations to Associate Professor Lien Duong from the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance and her team on securing the Australia Awards Fellowship – Carbon Footprint Measurement, Carbon Market Operation: Australian and Global Perspectives for Vietnam, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

Curtin welcomed 15 fellows from various Vietnamese ministries and organisations to begin this two-week program in Perth and Melbourne. Through this initiative, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of Australian and global carbon markets to support Vietnam’s policy development in this area.

The project team also includes Professor Grantley Taylor, Professor Helen Cabalu, Dr Baban Eulaiwi and Associate Professor Habib Rahman from the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance, along with Professor Peta Ashworth, Director of the Curtin Institute for Energy Transition, and Professor Kate Brooks, Head of the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences (EECMS). Thank you also to Professor Xiaotian Zhang, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Global and everyone who contributed to this fantastic program.
