Empowered by Ideas, Inspired for Cambodia’s Clean Energy Future

Three Australia Awards scholars—Socheata Horng, Voleak Yin and Chanthavdy Ream—attended the Australian Clean Energy Summit 2026 in Sydney, exploring Australia’s energy transition, climate resilience, investment and community engagement.

They connected with SolarBuddy, an Australian social enterprise bringing solar lamps to Cambodian children in rural communities, helping them study and light their nights. Chanthavdy reflected that clean energy initiatives “broadened my understanding of the social impact of clean energy.”

Socheata was inspired by discussions on AI data centres and energy sustainability, highlighting how growing digital demand could catalyse investment in renewable energy, storage and transmission—turning a challenge into an opportunity.

For Voleak, the Summit was “one of the most professionally formative experiences” of her graduate studies.

Their experience reinforced the power of collaboration, consistent policy and community voices in building Cambodia’s cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future.

Dare to dream: Study opportunities shared with Kep provincial officials

Last Thursday, we met with Kep’s provincial officials to share opportunities to study in Australia through the Australia Awards Scholarships and Equity Pathways Program.

These programs support talented Cambodian professionals who want to pursue postgraduate study and contribute to Cambodia’s development.

The Australia Awards Scholarships and Equity Pathways Program can help talented Cambodian professionals prepare for postgraduate study in Australia. The Equity Pathways Program provides a steppingstone for those who may need additional preparation before applying for an Australia Awards Scholarship.

Many Australia Awards alumni now serve in senior government roles, using their knowledge and experience to support Cambodia’s development. By broadening our reach beyond Phnom Penh, we hope to share these opportunities with committed professionals working in the provinces and encourage them to dare to dream about studying overseas.

Thank you to H.E. Bun Yaung, Deputy Provincial Governor of Kep, the provincial administration and all participants for their warm welcome and active participation.

We encourage Kep’s officials to dare to dream and apply.

Building Resilient Communities, Together

As a Master of Disaster Risk and Resilience student at the University of Newcastle, our scholar Somborath Dy had the opportunity to see theory put into practice at the Australian Disaster Resilience Conference 2026 in Melbourne. The experience brought classroom concepts to life through real-world discussions on community-led recovery, shared responsibility, inclusive leadership and innovative disaster management.

The conference highlighted how local communities, councils, researchers, organisations and governments can work together to reduce disaster risks and support vulnerable people. Somborath was inspired by FireMapper, a technology providing real-time information on hazards, resources and vulnerable groups, with potential applications for flood preparedness in Cambodia.

Somborath said the conference strengthened his understanding of “disaster resilience, community-led recovery, and the use of technology to support disaster-related decision-making.”
He also praised Australia’s “strong commitment to community resilience, collaboration, and social inclusion”—lessons he hopes to apply to Cambodia’s disaster risk reduction and sustainable development efforts.
