About The Curtin Institute for Energy Transition (CIET) CIET brings together multidisciplinary experts including biologists and geologists, engineers and physicists, and philosophers and social scientists to learn from each other and look at energy in a nuanced and innovative manner. CIET aims to be a thought leader on climate and energy technologies as they relate to energy transition.

We use scientific information to engage stakeholders about the agreements required to systematically lift the level of societal debate around what a just transition entails and provide a suite of technologies and tools to facilitate energy transitions in practice.

We're facilitating world-leading multidisciplinary research to accelerate a sustainable, equitable and innovative energy transition. To realise and sustain a new energy future, we must also train the next generation of problem solvers and educate the community about their role in the energy transition.
