The Habibie Award Center awarded Habibie Award 2009 to Prof. Dr. Edy Tri Baskoro in the field of Basic Sciences. The selection team which consist of 24 professional experts rewarded Edy Tri Baskoro for his contribution in solving degrees or diameters in graph theory, namely the study of existence, structure, property, and the many systems built by a set of points and lines. In his opinion, this award shows that mathematics got a high appreciation to keep developing. He also said that mathematics, science, and technology are important in order to survive and be more advanced. Prof. Dr. Edy Tri Baskoro is a professor in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ITB. Right now, he serves as Chair of Expertise Group (KK) of Combinatorics Mathematics FMIPA ITB.
Dr Eng Ferry Iskandar dedication in developing material technology led him to receive Habibie Award in the field of Basic Sciences in 2014. His inquietude about Indonesia’s inability to process its own natural resources becomes the background of his work consisting of various material technology needed for energy production, energy storage, and efficient energy use. Aspire to bring forward material technology in Indonesia, Ferry promoted the importance of this technology through various seminars. He said that material technology is one of the basic technology to develop its derivatives.
The Habibie Award Center awarded the 2015 Habibie Award to Prof. Emeritus Drs Abdul Djalil Pirous in the Field of Cultural Sciences.

Tommy Firdaus, professor of School of Architecture, Planning, and Policy Development ITB was awarded with Habibie Award in engineering in 2016. He was active as a board member in various leading international journals. Besides Habibie Award, he was also awarded with Ristek Award, Rockefeller Award and Otto Kornigsberger Award. He stated in a notable scientific speech titled Increasing Spatial Planning Effectiveness for Region and City Development in Indonesia, that spatial planning is not the final objective, but it is a tool to achieve greater development goals. Thus, spatial and city planning and global economics should continuously be developed to adapt with current rapid development.
