The Executive Director of Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), Bambang Subiyanto, expressed hoped that the "Indonesia Science Expo" (ISE) 2018 could be known worldwide as an international science and technology exhibition. ISE 2018 has been held thrice, with the previous ones held in 2015 and 2017. ISE 2018 will feature some research results of Indonesian researchers.

"We had participants from abroad last year; hopefully, this year`s event will be more inspiring," he stated in the press release here on Wednesday.

The aim of this science fair is to echo the results of the research to make the public understand the significance and role of research, science and technology, and innovation for a better life in the future.

"We will invite LIPI partners from different countries to participate. Besides, there will also be a `Youth Science Fair,` which is usually for young participants," he noted.

People need to understand science and technology and also the research results. ISE 2018 is one of the means to spread science and technology and research results from Indonesian researchers and innovators. ISE 2018 is expected to not only provide an understanding on raising the community`s awareness of science and technology but also to provide useful outcomes for the community, especially young people.
