Energy policy, economics and regulation is a key focus of the newly established Australian National Institute for Public Policy (ANIPP) which will provide the ECI (and other ANU entities) with the wider context that policy and decision makers need.
ANIPP draws together the public policy expertise available at ANU and its various specialist centres by providing an educational portal to the Australian Public Service. Details about the next professional short course 'Energy change in a carbon trading world' can be accessed here.
It incorporates the H.C. Coombs Policy Forum, a ‘think tank’ operated as a strategic collaboration between the Australian Government and ANU, focussed on transforming public policy research into practice.
Three ECI researchers were selected amongst the nine inaugural ANU Public Policy Fellows across the University:
- Professor Ken Baldwin (ECI Director)
- Professor Andrew Blakers (Director of the Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems)
- Professor Warwick McKibbin (Director of the Research School of Economics)
The inaugural Fellows will contribute to the new Crawford School of Public Policy - the ANU gateway for public policy.
