The 2012 MIT DUSP International Development Conference

Panel 3: MIT's Interdisciplinary Approach to Development

The international development eco-system at MIT. In examining the interdisciplinary approaches to development, what is nature and composition of the international development eco-system at MIT?  This panel discussion will bring together key institutional actors involved with international development within MIT, including the: Center for International Studies (CIS), MIT Science and Technology Initiative (MISTI), MIT Energy Initiative (EI), Legatum Center, Public Service Center (PSC), and Development through Dialog, Design, and Dissemination (D-Lab).  The panel will explore the actors within this internal ecosystem to identify their roles and contributions to interdisciplinary international development and the internationalization of education at MIT.  What is DUSP's perspective and contribution to this international development eco-system?  What is the desired impact on development practice and scholarship?
