THE WHY
Research is what propels humanity forward. It's fueled by curiosity: we get curious, ask questions, and immerse ourselves in discovering everything there is to know. Learning is thriving. Without curiosity and research, progress would slow to a halt, and our lives as we know them would be completely different.

OUR MISSION -
THE FUTURE OF RESEARCH
We champion, engage and empower young researchers with evidence-based resources to make informed career choices, improve scientific research, and create real world impact!
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
We work to actively include and respect every member of the research community and aim to create safe spaces for people to engage and challenge academic science training to become fully inclusive.
MENTAL WELL-BEING
CRI leads by example, engaging and creating structures within our own organization that prioritize the mental health and well-being of our volunteers, board members, and constituents.
PEOPLE CENTRICITY
We value the next generation of researchers, and believe investing in people ultimately yields better, more sustainable, and more responsible science.
ADVOCACY ENGAGEMENT
We believe that large cultural and systemic change is possible when driven by grassroots advocacy and engagement.
CAPACITY BUILDING
Our projects provide CRI directors and volunteers with the opportunity to develop leadership skills required both within and outside of academic research environments
TECHNOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY
We believe the academic training system is in need of restructuring, optimizing, and updating to pedagogic, technological, and sustainable standards of best practice to ensure innovative and sustainable funding of a diverse workforce.
Together, We shall IMPACT the World
Teenagers can take a bottoms-up approach to tackling ESG matters, infusing school curriculum content with real world applications and outcomes. This is why I co-founded ESG School!
Klaus Schwab
Chairperson | World Economic Forum
Post pandemic, it has never felt so real, that the actions of 2.0 billion youth can have massive influence on shaping our own future. ESG is a framework which guides us to take the planet back!
