Masih terbatasnya pengembangan nano teknologi di Indonesia lantaran minimnya fasilitas serta dukungan dana.
berkorban...
...serta berkolaborasiMisal, kita sebagai ahli nanoteknologi memberikan proposal ke perusahaan minyak atau elektronik untuk menyokong dana. Dari sini kita tidak usah peduli dulu mereka membutuhkan teknologi ini atau tidak. yang penting adalah, dana mereka bisa digunakan untuk perkembangan nano ini. Sebagai timbal baliknya, jika mereka memiliki masalah, atau project di dalam internal mereka, walaupun tidak berhubungan dengan teknologi nano, maka kita memberikan pelayanan konsultasi. Yang memberikan konsultasi adalah para pakar di bidangnya, bukan pakar nano teknologi. Disini pointnya adalah networking. Mampukah kita mempunyai sebuah network besar semacam itu? Harus ada upaya untuk merintis hal tersebut..
Di sisi lain kita patut berbangga, karena justru dari hal2 yang semacam ini seringkali anak bangsa mentorehkan prestasi yang tidak sepele. Tp tentu saja, kadang ada konsekuensi yang harus dibayar, seperti mereka direkrut di perusahaan atau universitas disana.Di sisi satu menggembirakan karena mengharumkan nama bangsa, tp disisi lain, kita gak akan maju2 kalo begini caranya.
Scientific career:Salam returned to Pakistan in 1951 to teach mathematics at Government College. In 1952 became the head of the Mathematics Department of the Punjab University. He had returned to Pakistan with the intention of founding a school of research, but soon found that this was impossible. In 1954 Salam left Pakistan for a lectureship at Cambridge, although he visited Pakistan from time to time as a government adviser on science policy. His work for Pakistan was far-reaching and influential. He was a member of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, a member of the Scientific Commission of Pakistan, Founder Chairman of Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission and was Chief Scientific Adviser to the President of Pakistan from 1961 to 1974.Since 1957 he has been Professor of Theoretical Physics at Imperial College, London. From 1964 onwards, has combined this position with that of Director of the International Centre For Theoretical Physics, a research institution in Trieste, Italy.Salam had a prolific research career in theoretical elementary particle physics. He either pioneered or was associated with all important developments in this field. He also served on a number of United Nations committees concerning science and technology in developing countries.
TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world -- until 2004 named Third World Academy of Sciences -- is a merit-based science academy uniting more than 800 scientists from some 90 countries. Its principal aim is to promote scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development in the South (see North-South divide). Its headquarters are located on the premises of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy.TWAS was founded in 1983 under the leadership of the late Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan by a group of distinguished scientists who were determined to do something about the dismal state of scientific research in developing countries.= Although developing countries account for 80% of the world’s population, they account for only 28% of the scientists. This fact reflects the lack of innovative potential necessary to solve real-life problems affecting nations in the South. = A chronic lack of funds for research often forces scientists in the South into intellectual isolation, jeopardizing their careers, their institutions and, ultimately, their nations. = Scientists in developing countries tend to be poorly paid and gain little respect for their work because the role that scientific research can play in development efforts is underestimated. This in turn leads to brain drain in favour of the North that further impoverishes the South. = Research institutions and universities in the South are under-funded, forcing scientists to work in difficult conditions and often with outdated equipment.
