Individual Consultant for Study of Human Resource Development in Science and

Technology
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 SINas is Human Resource of
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 (RISETPro). 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).

b. Goals and Objectives of the Study

In general, the purpose of this activity is to create institutional and superior
science and technology human resources in order to strengthen SINas.
c. Scope of the study
The activities included in this study are:
a) Evaluation result of management of human resources of science and
technology development
b) Impact of science and technology human resource development
programs, especially those funded by World Bank ( World Bank )
c) Analysis result of the needs of science and science and technology
human resources in order to support the development of science and
technology human resources

Study Mechanism

The study will basically will conduct through the following mechanism:
1. Done by a team consist of individual consultant, with input from resource
person invited in Focus Group Discussion (FGD), Workshop, Seminar or other
meeting.
1st FGD

: Concept development

2nd FGD

: Instrument development

3rd FGD

: Data collection

Workshop : Preparation and conclusion of study result

Seminar

: Socialization

2. Individual consultant will direct the substance of the meeting, prepare draft of
meeting agenda, conclude meeting result, following up the meeting conclusion
and prepare report as necessary. If the meeting has conducted when
consultant is assigned then result of the meeting should be reviewed by the
consultant.
3. Resource person will give data and input related to the study to the individual
consultant. Resource person determined by Ristek but individual consultant
can proposed the person to the Ristek
4. All meeting will be managed by Ristek to ensure good administration.
