In 20 years of its evolution, the IPOE has remained loyal to its missions, continued the pursuit of excellence and innovative entrepreneurship, and generated synergies through cooperation. Namely, the cultural beliefs of IPOE are “loyalty, excellence, innovation, and synergy.”

Loyalty indicates sincerity and dedication. We believe our loyalty to the missions is reflected in our devotion, unlimited enthusiasm, and creativity; only in this manner can we have great achievements. Loyalty is not only a valuable characteristics but also an attitude towards responsibilities and missions; we believe that attitude determines one’s achievements.

The pursuit of excellence refers to the attainments that are beyond definition. This involves our path towards continuous self-improvement, where we can discover the great potential to surpass ourselves, to guide our way through darkness, and to undergo extraordinary life experiences. Excellence is not only a status, but also a source of motivation. In our pursuit of excellence, we will become wiser with a broader vision.

Innovation is the practical implementation of new ideas and not being limited by the conventional ideas. It does not imply abandoning existing systems and pushing for brand-new research; instead, it advocates novel solutions that build upon existing systems. Based on the original foundation and conditions, the new research direction should be determined with clear goals, applicable strategies, instructive steps, and particular pertinence. The mentality determines the outcome. We believe that adopting innovative research ideas is the only way to make scientific research sustainable, healthy, and steady. Subsequently, a solid research chain can be formed to accompany more ambitious explorations in science and technology.

Synergy not only refers to the interpersonal linkages, but also the relationship among people, materials, and the environment. Synergy is a strategy used for performing complicated tasks. “A foot may prove to be short, whereas an inch may prove to be long”; no one is capable of accomplishing major scientific research work independently. Only by relying on and supporting each other, and learning from each other's strengths, can we achieve overall growth with improved quality and efficiency, as well as common interests. The best approach for developing a strategic scientific and technological force that is unbeatable in the face of difficulties and challenges is to highlight synergy.
