Global training

Lead: Dr Bishal Bharadwaj
Training courses to help Global South researchers build their skills using Google Earth Engine for mapping environmental data.

In 2024, CIET ran two training programs to support the next generation of students and researchers to develop the skills they will need for the energy transition.

These training courses were a global collaborative effort, bringing together institutions from Australasia, Asia, Africa and North America. Training was coordinated by Dr Bishal Bharadwaj (Energy and Development Theme Leader) at the Curtin Institute of Energy Transition, with support from representatives of each participating university.
