Dipi

DIPI funds fundamental and frontier research that show promise for increasing the knowledge value of scientific explorations in Indonesian society, while at the same time participating in the establishment of a vibrant Indonesian scientific research community on par with global and international scientific standards for excellence and merit-review. A national fund that awards grants for scientific research on a competitive basis has been found by many countries to be the most effective way to encourage the best world-class science. They encourage researchers to submit their best ideas in investigator-initiated research proposals. This is expected to result in more publication and patents, more productive scientific effort in all areas, and ultimately in more innovation, science-based enterprises, and direct foreign investment and joint ventures in technological areas.
