Science and Technology in Indonesia

Indonesia a Southeast Asia nation which is made up of thousands of volcanic islands. Among the world countries, it is considered as a home for different language speaking groups, ethnics, and religions. Indonesia takes a unique place among other countries in the development of science and technology. This is the right time to know useful information regarding development scientific research and its technology in Indonesia.

Indonesia has achieved many notable scientific and technology achievements for past decades. Even though it is a developing country, it made own aerospace technology. Only a few countries attain these types of self-improvements to lead their nation in self-defense as well good economic rate.

Indonesia’s science and technology is carried out by the ministry of Indonesia research and technology. Approximately 47 research centers are managed by the Indonesian institutes of sciences.

 

Civil Technology

There are several mark able improvements done by the Indonesian scientists, especially in civil or constructions field. An Indonesian engineer named Tjokorda Raka Sukawati, found out a new way of constructing the roads called Sosrobahu.This is the technique of building the wide fly overs along the existing roads to reduce the traffic. This technique is widely popularized and implemented in world countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines.

Aerospace Technology

Indonesia is outstanding in its military defense and aerospace technology. It is well clear from its history after independence. It is the only nation among the Southeast Asia’s to build its own aircraft. Boeing and Airbus are their aircraft components.They also exported many aircraft to world countries by with the combination of Spain. They also were providing the research theories among aerospace to conduct conferences.

Information Technology

In the 1970s most of the countries own their communication satellites, among which Indonesia takes a unique place in that time period. Form 1976 Indonesia host Palapa the own satellite in the USA.

The Indonesia scientist W. Purbo developed RT/RW-net internet set up which provides the enormous internet access to Indonesia peoples, especially in rural places.

Advances in Robotics 

Indonesia students are very developed in robotics researchers. They won more medals in international competitions. In 2008 Indonesia robotics team from the Indonesia Institute of Technology won the third place in Pune, India. In 2009 and 2010 the students from the Indonesia won the gold medal in “open fire-fighting autonomous robot” in the United States.

Nuclear Power in Indonesia

Indonesia has a stronger experience and foundation in nuclear power plant technologies when compared to South East Asian countries. Near Jakarta, the nuclear power reactor was built to gain A10 MWe.Due to this the millions of Indonesian peoples power demand was simply achieved by using 52 GWe in 2015.

Russia also great interest to implement powerful nuclear systems in Indonesia.Japan and Indonesia governments are engaged in agreement for preparing and developing nuclear power plant development in Indonesia.

Scientific Research Program in Indonesia

The main aim of conducting the joint term scientific research programs in Indonesia is to encourage the researchers from worldwide. They wanted to make close contact between the researchers who are working in worldwide institutions. There is a chance to meet the global PhDs, researchers, students, journals etc.In this Indonesia conference, the hottest topic to be disguised as the advancement in biotechnology and biomedicines.
