Indonesian Institute of Sciences

The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Template:Lang-id, or LIPI) is the governmental authority for science and research in Indonesia. It consists of 47 research centers in the fields ranging from social to natural sciences.[2]

With the enactment of Presidential Decree No. 33/2021 on 5 May 2021, LIPI is due to be disbanded along with government research agencies such as Agency of Assessment and Application of Technology (Indonesian: Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi, abbreviated as BPPT), National Nuclear Energy Agency (Indonesian: Badan Tenaga Nuklir Nasional, abbreviated as BATAN), and National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (Indonesian: Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa Nasional, abbreviated as LAPAN). All of those agencies fused into newly formed National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN).[3][4] Currently the disbandment process is still on process and expected to be finished on 1 January 2022.[5][6]

History

With growing interest in scientific research, the government of the Dutch East Indies established Natuurwetenschappelijke Raad voor Nederlandsch-Indië (Scientific Council of the Dutch East Indies) in 1928. It operates as the country's main research organization until the Japanese occupation in 1942. The Dutch returned to Indonesia and resumed control of the council, the institute was renamed Organisatie voor Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoek (OPIPA, Organisation for Scientific Research) in 1948.

In 1956 the organization was nationalized as Majelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (MIPI, Indonesian Sciences Council). Then in 1962 the government established the Departemen Urusan Riset Nasional (DURENAS, National Research Affairs Department), while MIPI are in charge of founding and operates various National Research Institutes. And in 1966 the government changed the status of DURENAS into Lembaga Riset Nasional (LEMRENAS) (National Research Institute).

In August 1967 the government dissolved LEMRENAS and MIPI with presidential decree no. 128/1967 and established the current Indonesian Institute of Sciences. The new institute runs the operation that was previously covered by LEMRENAS and MIPI.[7]

Electric car

LIPI made an electric car named Marlik (abbreviation of Marmut listrik, "electrical marmot") with the specifications: 40 km/h plain, 20 km/h steep, 300 kilometers run or 8 hours active with price Rp.40 million ($4,444)/unit for city car and smart car.[9]

English economic journal

June 2011: To increase LIPI's reputation around the world, and give Indonesian researchers more international credibility from currently ranked about 220th in the world, LIPI has launched a biannual English-language journal, Review of Indonesian Economic and Business Studies (RIEBS).[10]

Joint projects

Together with Japan's National Institute of Technology and Evaluation, LIPI have significantly increased Indonesia's microbial collection record from 200 to 6,500 between 2003 and 2009 and more than 1,800 microbes are believed to be new discoveries.[11]

The Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies has an office ("KITLV-Jakarta", set up in 1969) in Jakarta that collaborates with LIPI.
