The values that guide our daily work
Did you know that over 50% of the world's population eats rice?
RICE: these are the values that guide our research and teaching and nourish us every day.
Rigour not only translates into excellence in top-level international research, it also manifests itself in the use of high quality standards in teaching and in the creation of outstanding educational programmes.
Integrity encompasses upholding the highest standards of scientific conduct in our research activities and educating our students in corporate responsibility, ethical conduct and sustainability for a responsible world.
Collaboration is reflected throughout our organisation: in our governance structure and our integration into the rich local and national ecosystem. We believe in the power of collaboration and community building, so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
We champion a group mindset, an open faculty and an entrepreneurial spirit. We encourage bold thinkers, people who challenge the system and think outside the box. We encourage exploration and experimentation.
