ASEAN COMMUNITY 2015

ASEAN Community of Security ASEAN Community of Economy ASEAN Community of Social Culture

MABNJ - 64% of the worlds oceans, their seabed and bottom

MGRs - megadiverse, must be managed sustainably

Research Target Indonesian DGHE

1. To improve organization health on University for good research management and Optimum research achievement and creativity, 2. To empower researchers to share knowledge, 3. To work synergically for organization success,

Indonesian Research Priority

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Food Sufficiency and Security, Agriculture and Estate Crops, Poverty Alleviation, Nutrition and Tropical Diseases, Climate Change, Environment and Biodiversity, IT, Disaster Mitigation and Management, Energy and Renewable Energy

Indonesian Research Priority

10. Marine and Fisheries, 11.Manufacture Technology, 12. Infrastructure, 13. Transportation, 14. Defense Technology,

Thailand Research Topic

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Biodiversity for Economic Value, Tropical Marine Biology and Fisheries, Climate Change, Food Security, Renewable Energy, Biotechnology, Culture and Social research, Biotechnology,

Thailand Research Topic

9. Culture and Social research, 10. Research on Disaster,

Challenges and Future Direction

1. Limited Government budget, 2. Low publication number, 3. Linkage between research and graduate education, 4. Linkage between research and Industry, 5. IT in research management, 6. Industrial and other Stake holders acceptance to research result for linkage and relevance,

Challenges and Future Direction

7. Diverse Universities condition in pursuing research, 8. Low percentage of University Staff earning PhD. Degree.

Indonesian Flagship Program

1. International research Collaboration and Publication, 2. Research Center of Excellent (RCOE), 3. Integration of Research and Graduate Education, 4. Priorities and varieties Top Down Research programs,

Establishment ASEAN Research Clusters

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Health and Medicine, Agriculture and Food, Energy, Environment and Biodiversity, Social Science, Basic Science.

Future Direction
1. Increase Research Center of Excellent (RCOE), 2. Synergic effort in pursuing research for benefit the Nation and Global society, 3. Research funding based on output and outcome evaluation

MGR surveys -complex, costly -developed states lead Developing states and MGR use, mgmt:

- indirectly involved thru their scientists (supportive research) and legislators (policy formulation)
- more as beneficiaries than users

-higher species diversity in subtropics and tropics

- fishery resources not to be overexploited

World fish stocks - 50% fully exploited - 20% overexploited

Marine fishery depletion/ overexploitation - problem in spite implementation of legal frameworks

MGRs screened for potentially useful bioactive compounds for drug development

Use of MGRs
(bioprospecting for drug discovery)

development of anti-pain drug : Ziconitide (Prialt)

Conus magnus Dr. Baldomero Olivera University of Utah

UNIV. OF THE PHILIPPINES MSIs INITIATIVES

6-year program aims to develop:

Anti-infective agents from spongeassociated marine microorganisms
(for TB, S aureus infections, possibly HIV)

Anti-pain agents from turrid snails

Ensure MGR use w/ minimal environmental impact

Local effort but learnings can be applied to policy formulation re: global marine bioprospecting, access and benefit-sharing

 willingness to be involved, trained in international ocean and research human capacity building esp in weak areas (e.g. taxonomic research etc.)

increasing no. of trained popn geneticists/molecular geneticists

Commitment to ASEAN Community 2015

Indonesia and ASEAN Countries have committed funding to support exchange students under Student Mobility and Credit Transfer, highlighting the importance of the programme to progress ASEAN integration
