About

The National Research and Innovation Agency (Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional - BRIN) is a cabinet-level government agency formed by the Indonesian government in 2019. Originally a new agency attached to the Ministry of Research and Technology, which became the Ministry of Research and Technology/National Research and Innovation Agency, the agency was separated and established as a new non-ministerial government agency directly under the President of Indonesia in 2021. It gained cabinet-level status through the enactment of a presidential decree. Under the new presidential regulation, the agency became Indonesia's sole national research agency.
