Aims

Wahana Riset Indonesia gathers a battalion of young researchers to conduct research in particular environmental issues.

Why

One of the WRI Indonesia’s visions is to become the go-to applied research institution for sustainable development issues, supporting government programs implementation and turning it into learning processes. As a national research organization in sustainable development issues, this opportunity is a concrete contribution of WRI Indonesia to increase the capacity of young people in conducting academic research. WRI Indonesia also utilizes this initiative to increase and accelerate the generation of knowledge products from our existing activities in various regions.
