Through the ASEAN-U.S. S&T Fellowship, Dr. Kurniawan mapped the existing Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policy in Indonesia and identified three main categories: Supply, Demand, and Linkages. In a report titled, “STI Policy to Strengthen Indonesia’s National Innovation System in the Perspective of Supply, Demand and Linkages,” Dr. Kurniawan provided recommendations to his host ministry about which categories require more supportive STI policies.
