The working trip brought about valuable information on Denmark and Norway experiences in allocating resources, including traditional resources such as natural resources, human resources and renovated resources such as technology and alternative energy. This will provide practical evidences for the research group to complete the project as well as give feasible and useful recommendations for policy makers in Vietnam.
