Creativity and intellectual growth thrive in an environment that welcomes differences in viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences. RAND staff come from all walks of life and from around the world, and we use the knowledge we have acquired to enrich the content and meaning of our research. The diversity of our staff is also reflected in the global scope of RAND research — from Europe to the Middle East to Asia — and allows us to offer insight and analysis on diversity management to governments and business. |

Our Global Commitment
Staff and students from more than 80 countries produce RAND research that reflects the changing nature of a global society. RAND uses a wide variety of perspectives to analyze problems. Competing sides of an issue are given fair treatment and synthesized into a coherent whole.
RAND regularly analyzes global policy issues, and in expanding its research in international affairs, has established the RAND Europe office in Cambridge, England, as well as an office in Doha, Qatar, in the Middle East. A relationship with the University of Miami has strengthened RAND's research agenda in Latin America. Work in these locations increases RAND's ability to inform complex issues throughout the world.
