On February 11, the 16th ITSF Award Presentation Ceremony took place at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta. Award winners and grant recipients received the Science and Technology Awards, Science Education Awards, and Science and Technology Research Grants, respectively. The State Minister for Research and Technology in Indonesia, the Vice Minister of National Education in Indonesia, the Japanese Ambassador to Indonesia, and Dr. Katsunosuke Maeda, Honorary Chairman of Toray Industries, Inc. and ITSF, attended as honorary guests and presented the honors. It was a very successful ceremony with a total of 290 participants celebrating the awardees.
Indroyono Soesilo, PhD, an attendee to the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference held last December in Copenhagen, gave a special lecture on “The Impact of Global Oceanic and Climate Changes on Indonesia.” It was very well received by participants and the audience.
Through this year’s ceremony and the lecture, we believe that the purpose-oriented activities of ITSF in encouraging the development of science and technology as well as the advancement of science education in Indonesia have had a significant benefit on society.
