Welcome

Welcome to the Center for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy!

CSTIP’s goal is to strengthen and expand the community of researchers who study how governance, broadly construed, shapes the rate and direction of knowledge creation and technological change, and how science and technology, in turn, contribute to societal innovation. On our site, you can find out about the people and ideas that are helping to achieve that goal. Please join us by reading our work or attending an event.
