The Indonesia Regional Science Association (IRSA) is an Indonesian academic organization that actively promotes the advancement of research across the country. Each year since its establishment in 1997, the IRSA annual conference has been attended by a large number of academics and policymakers from numerous Indonesian institutions, creating a large network of people concerned with issues of regional development. This network has now reached a critical mass that can play a major role not only in the academic arena through research and publications but also contribute to the evidence-based regional development policies nationally, regionally, and locally.
