“The important thing is to not stop questioning.”
 
–Albert Einstein, born on this day in 1879

This wise recommendation represents the International Rescue Committee’s strong commitment to research, evaluation and learning. Appropriately, it comes from the great scientist and humanitarian at whose suggestion our organization was founded in 1933. Over 75 years later, our work is driven by equal parts of passion and proof, ideals and ideas. This principle of rigorous inquiry and examination guides the way in which we design our programs and respond to the world's worst humanitarian crises.
