Project overview

UK- Indonesia Science & Technology Fund launched its first doctoral programme, Newton-Ristekdikti Doctoral Scholarship Programme in Maritime and Marine Science 2017. Newton Fund is officially in partnership with Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of Republic of Indonesia in UK-Indonesia Science & Technology Fund which was launched on 23 March 2016.

The Doctoral programme facilitates the capacity building of individuals, and the building of sustainable, long-lasting links between UK and overseas institutions, through PhD scholarships, placements, and partnerships. Together with Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education of Republic of Indonesia, Newton Fund through the British Council 

Newton Fund is implementing PhD programme in Indonesia to address the following issues:

  1. Skills shortages in the research sector are most pronounced at PhD level (with 27% of researchers at universities having a PhD)
  2. Being the largest archipelago, Indonesia wants to develop its capacity in marine and maritime sciences

This Project will focus on the topic of Marine and Maritime research. The theme covers a wide variety of discipline from fundamental sciences and engineering to social sciences. Examples include: marine law, maritime sociology, shipbuilding, aquaculture, renewable energy, logistic, coastal communities, disaster management, etc.

This activity will lead to an increase in skilled researchers in areas of focus who will be key to Indonesia’s economic development. This cohort of well-trained human resources will allow Indonesia to make efficient use of its marine and maritime potential through research and innovations in these focus areas.

The Key Objectives

Within research areas relevant to development the PhD programme works to fulfill the following aims: 

  • Development of individual capacity through international training and development opportunities
  • Cultivation of highly trained researchers in the UK and Indonesia with international experience who are able to contribute to research and innovation, thereby generating economic and social benefits for both countries
  • Participation of British and Indonesia PhD students in international intellectual networks, building cultural understanding and fostering long-term sustainable research collaborations
  • Development of international joint training pathways
  • Raising awareness of the UK’s and Indonesia’s research strengths
