6. CIAT Core Values
Impact orientationResearch and related activities are demand driven,
and are monitored and evaluated for social and environmental impact
and relevance.
Scientific integrityResearch is carried out with integrity and
transparency, and according to an agenda that is socially and
environmentally responsible.
Innovation, creativity, diversity, and continuous learningInnovative
approaches in research and organizational activities are pursued by
taking advantage of gender and cultural diversity, and applying
effective approaches for knowledge sharing and learning
