Six Timorese fellows visited Australia as part of the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Fellowship Program.

As part of the program, fellows were given the opportunity to:

  • attend LNG site tours in Darwin and the AOG Energy Conference in Perth
  • build industry and government connections at networking events
  • further their research project, with support from their Australian industry mentor.

Fellows will present their research to Australian and Timor-Leste Governments and industry representatives in Dili at the end of the fellowship program.

The program is part of the Timor-Leste Australia LNG Partnership with the Timor-Leste National Petroleum and Minerals Authority (ANPM).

The partnership facilitates knowledge sharing and strengthens bilateral trade links between Timor-Leste and Australia.
