ASEAN
With a population of more than 600 million people – 9
percent of the world population – and a combined GDP of
$1.8 trillion,
the ASEAN economy is ranked as the 9th largest economy
in the world and the 3rd largest in Asia.
The region has experienced strong economic growth with
an average annual rate of 5 percent to 6 percent over the
past two decades.
ASEAN countries have increased their investment in
science and technology to diversify from an agricultural to
a knowledge-based economy.
ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Science and
Technology (AMMST)
shared by the ASEAN Leaders who have recognised
science and technology (S&T) as a key factor in
sustaining economic growth, enhancing community
well-being and promoting integration in ASEAN
This task, however, is not easy as ASEAN, a grouping
of ten developing countries with great variance in
the level of science and technology capability, has to
move the cooperation forward more vigourusly and
promote deeper integration.

International Comparison of R&D Expenditure as a Percentage of GDP
(2012)
Research performance of
ASEAN countries
Malaysia has consistently increased its
impact as well as shown strong output
growth, reaching to a 1 percent share of
the world’s scholarly output in 2013.
In terms of citation impact, the Philippines
remains significantly above the world
average but has seen some decreases
through time.
Vietnam and Thailand’s citation impacts are
both approximately around the world
average.
Indonesia has seen decreases in citation
impact.
Agricultural & Biological Sciences
• is a high activity area for most countries, and a
research strength for nearly a third of
institutions such as Center for International
Forestry West Java, Lembaga Ilmu
Pengetahuan Indonesia, International Rice
Research Institute.
specific institutes show high impact in
Medicine, such as Vietnamese Academy of
Science & Technology or Mahidol University.

Good time to promote awareness on
responsible science, biosecurity and
pedagogy across the higher
education sector of ASEAN
