National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN)

Exhibitor

BRIN was initially a unit with the Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemenristek); however, as it developed, on 5 May 2021, President Joko Widodo signed Presidential Regulation No. 33 of 2021, which effectively stipulates BRIN as the only national research body. This regulation stipulates that all Indonesian national research bodies, such as the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), and the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) merge into BRIN. BRIN's position is no longer as a regulator, because the regulatory function remains in the ministry. BRIN becomes a separate agency following the merger of BATAN, BPPT, LAPAN, and LIPI as well as research institutions within ministries and institutions. Now BRIN is led by Laksana Tri Handoko, who previously led LIPI. This integration is based on BRIN Regulation No. 1/2021 as mandated by Presidential Regulation No. 78/2021 on BRIN.
