About CTPID

CTPID

The Center for Technology, Policy, and Industrial Development (CTPID) is building productive partnerships between academia, government, and industry to support global economic growth and to advance policies that preserve the environment and benefit society at large.

CTPID's mission is to develop new knowledge, advanced technological strategies, and innovative partnerships that address global industrial and policy issues and to provide an enriched environment for MIT faculty and students to pursue their intellectual interests.


Partnerships for the Future

CTPID research focuses on contemporary industrial problems—such as how to build safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly automobiles—that span social, natural, and technological interests.

Current programs, often jointly supported by several corporations, address industrial issues in the aerospace, automotive, business and environment, materials systems, mobility, telecommunications, and technology and law sectors. New programs examine particular issues facing a single global corporation.


Creating New Knowledge

Applying MIT's intellectual competencies to real world dilemmas produces a rich learning experience for students involved in CTPID research programs and for those enrolled in the associated master's and doctoral programs.

The combination of interdisciplinary academic resources and partnerships with both regulatory bodies and entrepreneurial enterprises defines CTPID's role as a home for advanced research with practical applications.
