The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), through the ASEAN Climate Change and Energy Project (ACCEPT), invites the submission of interest to develop research papers on energy and climate change in ASEAN.

ACCEPT, the first energy cooperation project in collaboration with the Norwegian Government under the Norwegian-ASEAN Regional Integration Programme (NARIP), aims to support ASEAN in improving the coherence between the ASEAN energy and climate policies and contribute to more climate-friendly development of the energy sector.

One of the activities is producing various thematic papers on cross-cutting energy and climate issues in ASEAN. Topics of the papers are developed to support the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) – a regional blueprint on energy cooperation, and the sustainable energy transition in the region. The papers can employ quantitative or qualitative methodologies, in all cases policy relevant.

The ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) is the official ASEAN conference and exhibition on energy that brings high-level regional and international policymakers, key business players, academe, and other stakeholders.

ACE is looking for a consultant who has a proven track record in developing and implementing HR applications/projects. Those are:

1. At least 10-15 years experience in developing HR-related applications.
2. Having client portfolios from government bodies, intergovernmental organisation, or international not-for-profit organisation is a plus.
3. Having awards/international recognitions on the applications or cloud infrastructure is a plus.
4. Fulfil the timeline of activities provided by ACE promptly.
