This one-time grant of $15,000.00 will further WPI’s intentions to provide new graduate course work focusing on “Training in Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy: National and Global Science Policy Interface.”  This Grad course is being offered this D Term 2027.

This project will establish a course in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policy and also support organizing a summer symposium focused on science diplomacy and science advice. These exciting opportunities include activities delivering interdisciplinary lectures, hosting invited expert speakers, and facilitating student-led discussions and presentations.  It will also include organizing symposium sessions with moderators and discussants.


Congratulations Professor Murenzi for obtaining this excellent grant opportunity on behalf of WPI and its Graduate students.
