Individual Consultant of Technical and Policy Study for Component 1 RISET-Pro

(Revitalization Public Research Institutes in LPNK - RISTEK)
I.

Rationale
a. Background of the Technical Study
National Innovation System (SINas) is a concept network among the actors /
actors institutional science and technology in a system that is collective in the
creation, deployment, and use of knowledge for the achievement of
innovation (Freeman 1986, Nelson, 1993 ;). Conceptually, the core ideas of
SIN rooted to the empirical fact that innovation is a dynamic and complex
process. Therefore, acceleration (acceleration) process innovation is not just
relying on only one of the actors (Edquist, 1999).
In the last two decades, as well as other developing countries, Indonesia
began to adopt the concept SINas as part of efforts to the development and
procurement of science and technology (science) and to improve the
competitiveness and independence of the nation. However, implementation of
the concept is still not optimal SINas indication is the absence of: national
flagship" priority related fields in the national level. In general, the
implementation of the concept SINas in Indonesia is mostly done through
SIDA (Regional Innovation Systems). Some SIDA program conducted in
several regions in Indonesia mainly by the Research and Technology and
BPPT. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of the SIDA program
also comprehensive not done, especially the extent of such programs
associated impact on the acceleration of science and technology in the
region. So a study related to implementation of SINas and SIDA need to be
done.

In Law No 18 of 2002 states that R & D institutions is one of the elements that
support the advancement of science and technology institutions and an actor
in the National Innovation System. However, some of the research says that
the performance is still not optimal R & D institutions. Some studies mention
that the poor performance is caused by the management of R & D institutions
and the R & D activities are still not optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to
develop a model that is most appropriate governance associated with R & D
in R & D institutions especially LPNK .
Another important element in supporting HR SINas is science and
technology. Some data put the number and quality of science and technology
human resources we are still left behind from other nations. In this regard, the
government with the help of the World Bank and the Japanese government
actually ever held a human resources development program of science and
technology, the OFP, STMDP, STAID. This program gives an opportunity to
the sons and daughters of Indonesia to retrace S1 to S3 education programs
in developed countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, the United
State and others. However, as the monetary crisis in 1998 that hit Indonesia,
as well as the change of policy / administration of the scholarship program
has been discontinued. Until now, evaluation of programs related to the
management and analysis of the impact of the program had not done in a
comprehensive manner. Therefore, efforts to revitalize science and
technology human resources development program is needed, especially for
the challenges of science and technology in the future including the analysis
of science and technology and human resource development needs.
Related to that manners, Ministry of Research and Technology (Research
and Technology) in collaboration with the World Bank to make the program
Research And Innovation In Science And Technology Program (RESEARCH
- PRO). One element of the study are included in Component 1a (Improving
innovation policy framework) is Technical Study and Policy. The person in
charge of the activities and the Technical Study of Science and Technology

Policy is the Assistant Deputy Institutional Competence (Deputy Assistant 3),

Deputy Institutional Technology.
