Abstract:

Risk management is considered to be fundamental to good management practice and organizational governance. Effective management of risk provides an essential contribution toward the achievement of the Institute’s strategic and operational objectives and goals. Considering IRRI’s unique features as a research and training institute, we focus on the risks related to research activities. A major response to research-related risks is quality assurance (QA). QA ensures that IRRI’s research outputs are of the highest verifiable quality, thus maintaining its reputation for scientific excellence and integrity.
