THE 6th JOINT WORKSHOP WAS JOINTLY HELD IN INDONESIA

Recognizing the cooperation between two institutes, Research and Development of Road andBridge, Agency of Research and Development, Ministry of Public Works, Indonesia (herein after“ARD RDCRB (IRE)”, and National Institute of Land and Infrastructure Management, Ministry ofLand, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan (herein after ”NILIM”) to have been in a best
condition from the kickoff of joint research actions agreed in the technological field of Road andTransport, November 2009 in TSUKUBA, Japan, 6th Joint Work shop (hereinafter,” WS ”) was heldon 8 -10 March here in Jakarta and Bandung successfully.
In this WS the joint research road map on “Tunnel and Underground Project” was revised,

for environmentally friendly road and transport research strategy and priority compiled by the two
institutes.
And according to “ Next Actions” in the Minutes of 5th WS, a new research road map focused on
the bridge structure in the quality control of design, construction and maintenance was drafted as a
final theme of the Collaborative Researches of Bali Symposium 2010.
Concerning these two key topics, presentations and discussions were conducted under the top
leaderships of both sides, and besides in this WS, considering the substructure scoring of bridges as
crucial in Indonesia and lots of other issues in the technological sphere of water resource and riverpolicy as being cross-sectional between road and river, relevant research needs were sought throughas well in this WS so as to set up a new cooperation for mutual benefits of two countries.
Respective proceedings are as followed;(Opening SESSION)In General Session, after the opening addressed by both sides, a short history of the cooperation
was briefed by International Research and Promotion Division, NILM.
