Australian and Vietnamese experts plan to undertake research into economic integration and poverty reduction with funds from Australia. The grants, which were announced last Wednesday, will be provided through the Australian International Science Linkages – Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Academies program. The University of New South Wales' Australian School of Taxation will work with the Viet Nam Development and Policies Research Centre to conduct research on international economic integration and child poverty. The second project on the global economic crisis, Australia-Viet Nam trade and regional integration will be implemented by Victoria University's Centre for Strategic Economic Studies and the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade's Institute for Trade.
