Three Malaysian researchers selected by the Malaysian Academy of Sciences attended the meeting: Associate Professor Ahmad Fariz and Professor Abdul Hadi from the Institute for Environment and Development (LESTARI), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and Dato' Ghazali, Executive Chairman of Nusantara Technologies. The researchers were interested to know how Australia is implementing green growth policies in the areas of science and innovation, business and industry as well as environmental economics and skills training. The Australian organisations represented included the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education; Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism; CSIRO; the Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Technologies (CO2CRC); the Australian National University; and Dyesol Technologies.
