The Research Organization for Energy and Manufacture (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Energi dan Manufaktur, OREM) is one of Research Organizations under the umbrella of the National Research and Innovation Agency (Indonesian: Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, BRIN). On 24 January 2022, the formation of the agency is announced and to be formed on 1 February 2022. The organization is resulted from restructuration of Assessment and Application of Technology Research Organization-BPPT (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi-BPPT, ORPPT-BPPT) and Engineering Science Research Organization (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Ilmu Pengetahuan Teknik, ORIPT).[1]
OREM is direct successor of Assessment and Application of Technology Research Organization-BPPT.[2]
After acquirement of Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (Indonesian: Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi, BPPT), BPPT transformed into ORPPT-BPPT under BRIN in September 2021.[3] As it was from BPPT, ORPPT-BPPT was a big research organization with 16 research center and has very wide range of research focus.
On 24 January 2022, the ORPPT-BPPT is struck out and no longer listed in the BRIN Research Organizations list along with ORIPT,[4] indicating that the organization is being phased out. Research centers under those two research organizations are being reorganized, resulted in formation of OREM itself, Nanotechnology and Material Research Organization (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Nanoteknologi dan Material, ORNM), and Electronics and Informatics Research Organization (Indonesian: Organisasi Riset Elektronik dan Informatika, OREI).
OREM is formally established by Chairman of BRIN Decree No. 7/2022, backdated from 25 February 2022. OREM formation is finalized on 1 March 2022 and is functional since 4 March 2022 with inauguration of its first head, Haznan Abimanyu.[5]
The structure of OREM is as follows:
