# Assessment and Application of Technology Research Organization-BPPT

The Assessment and Application of Technology Research Organization-BPPT (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi-BPPT, ORPPT-BPPT) was one of original 7 Research Organizations under the umbrella of the National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN). It was founded on 1 September 2021 as transformation of Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (Indonesian: Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi, BPPT) after the liquidation of BPPT into BRIN.
On 24 January 2022, the organization is struck out and no longer listed in the BRIN Research Organizations list along with Engineering Science Research Organization, indicating the dissolution of the two organizations. The research centers of both organizations later rearranged and resulted into three research organizations: Research Organization for Energy and Manufacture, Research Organization for Nanotechnology and Material, and Research Organization for Electronics and Informatics. The dissolution is effective from 1 February 2022.

## History

Founded on 1 September 2021 as ORPPT (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi), ORPPT was transformation of BPPT into BRIN. As research organization of BRIN, as outlined in Article 175 and Article 176 of Chief of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021, every Research Organizations under BRIN are responsible and answered to Chief of BRIN. It also prescribed that the Research Organizations consisted with Head of Research Organizations, Centers, and Laboratories/Study Groups. For the transitional period, as in Article 210 of Chief of BRIN Decree No. 1/2021 mandated, the structure of ORPPT follows the preceding structure that already established during its time in BPPT. Due to this, the structure of ORPPT largely follows the Chief of BPPT Decree No. 12/2017.
