In 1962, the government created the Department of National Research Affairs (DURENAS) and incorporated MIPI into it. Its additional task is to build and supervise several national research institutes. Then, in 1966, the status of DURENAS changed to National Research Institute (LEMRENAS). LEMRENAS and MIPI were then dissolved in August 1967 with Presidential Decree n. RE. 128 of 1967.

The Indonesian government has decided to establish the Indonesian Science Council (MIPI) through Law No. 6 of 1956 after going through a series of phases of scientific activity from the 16th century to 1956. Quoting the page lipi.go.idIts main task is to guide the development of science and technology, also taking into account the government in terms of scientific wisdom.

The four non-ministerial research institutes have merged to become a Research Organization (OR) at the National Agency for Research and Innovation (BRIN). Batan became OR Nuclear Energy, Lapan became OR Aviation and Space, BPPT became OR Research and Application of Technology, while LIPI became OR Life Sciences and OR Earth Sciences.

The National Innovation Research Agency or BRIN is an agency or institution founded by President Joko Widodo o Jokowi through presidential regulation number 74 of 2019.
