NAVIGATING INDONESIA’S SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIPLOMACY ECOSYSTEM
As part of the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Initiative, in 2025, we will conduct Country Focused Workshop Series entitled “Navigating Science and Technology Diplomacy Ecosystems”.
This workshop series builds upon the research done in 2024 for the Asia-Europe Science & Technology Diplomacy Report. which mapped Science and Technology Diplomacy strategies, priorities, and tools across Asia and Europe, providing a mapping of the status of Science Diplomacy across the two regions. Learn more about the Report and ASEF’s work in the field of Science and Technology Diplomacy in 2024 here.
INDONESIA is emerging as a dynamic player in Science and Technology Diplomacy (STD), leveraging its vast natural resources, growing innovation ecosystem, and strategic geopolitical position. As the world’s fourth most populous country and the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia’s investment in science, technology, and innovation (STI) is pivotal not only for its own development but also for regional and global collaboration. While Indonesia does not yet have a dedicated science diplomacy strategy, key elements have long been embedded in its foreign policy, with increasing government support and institutional coordination driving its evolution. The country’s diplomatic focus on climate change, public health, and digital transformation further underscores the growing role of science in foreign policy.
With this final workshop series, we aim to also highlight the preparations for the hosting of the World Science Forum 2026 in Jakarta, Indonesia by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) and Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (AAAT).
