After three years at the helm of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Laksana Tri Handoko is entrusted with a new job: to lead the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). The Japan-educated scientist is given a mandate by President Joko Widodo to integrate five major national research institutes. He is tasked to catch up lags in science and technology, to create technological independence and to focus on exploring the digital economy as well as green and blue economy. He would also continue his efforts which he initiated in LIPI to bring back a diaspora of Indonesian researchers to strengthen BRIN. Handoko said BRIN also needed political support to realize research as one of the main pillars of the national economy.
Residents watch hot air balloons being released at a field in Kembaran village, Kalikajar, Wonosobo, Central Java, Wednesday, May 19. The hot air balloon festival is a tradition carried out by the local community on the seventh day of Idul Fitri—at the end of the fasting month. To prevent air traffic disruption, the balloons are tied to the ground so they would stop flying at a certain height. ANTARA/Anis Efizudin
