A culture of lifelong learning and knowledge co-creation is CKC’s core value to create an interdisciplinary working environment through training and capacity-building sessions.
On 3 November 2022, a sharing session on proposal development and communication strategies was organised by CKC, enhancing knowledge sharing among individuals and organisations working in social research and development practice. The sharing session was led by Hannah Dudley – CKC’s Grants Development Mentor through the Australian Volunteers Program (AVP). Hannah has over 10 years of experience in consulting, managing, planning, and coordinating projects for multinational companies and non-profit organisations in the Asia-Pacific region.
This is one of the last activities of Hannah accompanying CKC after four months of working in Hue city, which opens up opportunities for knowledge sharing, connection, and interdisciplinary research between CKC and many individuals and organisations.

To promote transdisciplinary research for sustainable development, CKC has maintained and developed networking and partnership with different organisations and individuals for joint community development initiatives. Recently, CKC had the opportunity to cooperate with SOLEN Environmental Solutions Joint Stock Company to co-develop community development proposals, supporting disadvantaged communities.
SOLEN Environmental Solutions Joint Stock Company, established in March 2022 in Ha Noi, Vietnam by Mr. Nguyen Duy Hung and two co-founders, Mr. Trinh Thuc Hao and Mr. Dinh Kien Cuong, is a local company specialising in providing research and survey on natural resources and environment, translation services, trading, importing, and exporting environmental and health products. The company has a team of highly specialised personnel, with enthusiasm, creativity, and progressive spirit.
With the guideline “Local Resources, Global Quality”, SOLEN is taking pioneering steps in providing outstanding optimal solutions to improve the environmental quality and the quality of local life. SOLEN’s projects not only provide solutions associated with practical problems for the community but also bring sustainable values to the environment. Some outstanding research and cooperation programs that SOLEN has engaged in:
- The research project on motorbike emissions in Hanoi was implemented in 2020. The project aims to study motorbike emissions and develop a driving cycle for motorbikes in Hanoi; and
- The International Project Collaboration (IPC) program aims to provide readily available resources in environmental services within the ASEAN region, promote research collaborations and mobilise qualified environmental experts through multiple-stakeholders networking within the ASEAN region to deal with emerging environmental issues. The program focuses on environmental informatics, pollution and waste, climate change, and interdisciplinary research.
The cooperation between SOLEN and CKC will bring more opportunities for the two organisations to contribute to sustainable development and knowledge sharing.

As a young research center, CKC always upholds a culture of lifelong learning as its core value. At CKC, we create a learning and knowledge-exchanging environment through hands-on projects and knowledge-sharing sessions. This is the point of connection between CKC and Hannah Dudley – CKC’s Grants Development Mentor. During her three months working at CKC through the Australian Volunteers Program, Hannah has focused on supporting the capacity development of CKC’s young team by sharing sessions on how to develop proposals, communication strategies, organizational profile, and project design. In addition, mentoring sessions have been facilitated to equip staff with solid knowledge and skills on the job.
The series of sharing and training activities help develop CKC’s human resources and thereby promote CKC’s contribution to community development and research. Sincere appreciation is credited to Hannah’s contribution and support.
