JAKARTA – The National Research and Innovation Agency or BRIN along with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology is drafting a roadmap for Indonesian research 2026-2045. This doc would be the course of nationwide research for the subsequent 20 years.
BRIN Head Arif Satria mentioned the roadmap was ready along with the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology. The plan is for the doc to be launched in August, coinciding with Technology Day.
“The roadmap for Indonesian research 2026-2045 was compiled together between BRIN and the Ministry of Science and Technology which will be launched later in August, on Technology Day,” mentioned Arif on the Presidential Palace Complex, Jakarta, Tuesday, July 7.
According to Arif, the roadmap might be used to sharpen the research theme. From the doc, the federal government can type a research group that oversees strategic areas.
