BINUS Technology Transfer<\/div>\n

Grant for Applied Research<\/h1>\n

External grants from DIKTI and BRIN are among the most powerful tools a BINUS researcher has. They fund the journey from prototype to market \u2014 and the competition is real.<\/p>\n

This page is your starting point. Each grant scheme below has its own dedicated guide \u2014 read this first to understand which one fits your research.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\u2014 Background<\/p>\n

Why external grants matter \u2014 and what changed<\/h2>\n

Indonesia’s national research funding landscape has undergone a major shift. The government, through Kemendikbud-Ristek and BRIN, has moved away from funding basic research output alone and is now firmly focused on hilirisasi<\/strong> \u2014 the downstream application of research into real products, industries, and communities.<\/p>\n

\n

What this means for BINUS researchers: grants are no longer about publishing papers<\/strong>. They are about prototypes, patents, technology transfer, industry partnerships, and measurable economic impact. If your research has real-world application potential, there is now a grant designed specifically for you \u2014 and BINUS RTT is here to help you find and win it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There are currently 7 external grant schemes<\/strong> relevant to BINUS researchers pursuing hilirisasi and komersialisasi. They run across two main platforms \u2014 BIMA<\/strong> (Kemendikbud-Ristek \/ DIKTI) and Hilirisasi Riset \/ Bestari Saintek<\/strong> (BRIN\/Semesta) \u2014 and serve different research stages, team structures, and industry engagement models.<\/p>\n
