Connecting the MIT community with Washington—and vice versa.
The MIT Washington Office connects our campus community with the policymakers in our nation’s capital. We help develop and share MIT’s institutional perspectives in such areas as science, education, and research security, and help faculty and students navigate the D.C. policy world.
MIT IN DEPTH
Founded in 1861, MIT is one of the world’s leading universities, with great strengths not only in science and engineering but in areas as diverse as architecture and economics. Here’s a snapshot of what the Institute looks like today, including statistics on faculty, students, financial aid and research investments.
POLICY
The MIT Washington Office helps MIT faculty and students bring their thinking to bear on policy challenges. We also give policymakers a window into the latest MIT research to help them develop informed positions that will strengthen our country and the world.
Learn more about the Institute’s stances on a wide range of policy topics – and about work our faculty is doing that can inform policy in areas from climate to artificial intelligence.
