Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Indonesia)

In the Working Cabinet (2014–2019), this ministry was in the form of a directorate general and was placed under the Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education. In the next cabinet, namely the Onward Indonesia Cabinet (2019–2024), it was named the Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. In the Red and White Cabinet (2024–2029), the Directorate General of Higher Education was separated from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology to become a separate ministry. Former minister Satryo revealed the ministry was supposed to fuse with the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) in the original design of President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka. However, BRIN resisted to fuse with the ministry. On February 19, 2025, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Satryo Soemantri Brodjonegoro, resigned, citing unmet government expectations during his four-month tenure. President Prabowo Subianto accepted his resignation and appointed ITB Professor Brian Yuliarto as the new minister. The inauguration ceremony was attended by key cabinet members, though Satryo was notably absent. == Organization ==
