As one of the IRRI's outstanding alumni, Prof.Jikun Huang explains briefly how IRRI training has affected his career in a near-term IRRI brief.“The time I spent in IRRI as a PhD scholar and postdoctoral fellow was one of the most important experiences in my life. My training at IRRI has significantly influenced the way I work in at least three areas after I returned to China in 1992. First, I always followed what I learned at IRRI on how to prioritize policy issues for research, which is critical for decision making in developing countries, including China. Second, my IRRI experience has led me to decide in dedicating my entire research efforts to empirically based policy studies, which have helped me not only in publishing papers in academic journals, but more importantly in contributing to national policy making. Lastly, I learned the value of keeping the spirit of teamwork and engaging in multidisciplinary research that provided me opportunities to contribute to research in other fields using my knowledge in economics and policy.”Attachment: Sowing the seeds.pdf
