MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AI)
The AI Lab is an interdisciplinary laboratory of over 200 people that spans several academic departments and has active projects ongoing with members of every academic school at MIT. Its goal is to understand the nature of intelligence and to engineer systems that exhibit intelligence.
MIT-Harvard Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP)
The Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences (HST) and Technology and MIT’s Sloan School of Management have jointly established the Biomedical Enterprise Program (BEP). Integrating the strengths of an outstanding biomedical research and educational center with a world-renowned business school, this unique two-year program is designed for individuals with business experience, a strong foundation in quantitative science, and a desire to become the next generation of leaders in biomedical enterprise.
MIT Integrated Supply Chain Management Program (ISCM)
The Integrated Supply Chain Management Program (ISCM) is a consortium of non-competing companies that was started in January 1995 by a group of faculty and staff from the Sloan School of Management and the Center for Transportation & Logistics, where the Program is currently managed. The purpose of ISCM is to accelerate the implementation of supply chain management principles within the sponsor companies, and to advance the state of the art of supply chain management.
MIT Program for Internet & Telecom Convergence (ITC)
As the Internet evolves into a critical global communications infrastructure, barriers to progress continue to arise. Some problems are technical, economic, or policy-related, while the hardest combine all three aspects. ITC research aims to further the Internet's evolution by clearly identifying these hurdles, articulating the relevant issues and approaches, and shaping solutions in conjunction with our industry partners.
Internship Programs
Corporate facilities are often excellent training ground for an entrepreneurial career and are also gold mines of under-exploited technologies and great talent. Internship-oriented programs for undergraduates (such as VI-A in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science ) and for graduate students (such as Leaders for Manufacturing) are available by arrangement.
Leaders for Manufacturing (LFM)/ System Design and Management (SDM)
LFM and SDM are graduate and research programs sponsored by MIT's Sloan School of Management, the School of Engineering, and over 20 industry partners.
Lemelson-MIT Prize
The National Lemelson-MIT Prize program was created in 1994 to encourage young Americans to pursue careers in science, technology, and entrepreneurship. The program awards the world's largest prize for invention and innovation, the $500,000 Lemelson-MIT Prize, as well as MIT student awards for inventiveness and doctoral fellowships seeking to create a more innovative and entrepreneurial environment in the US.
Award recipients represent a wide range of inventing accomplishments in the medicine and health care, computing, technology, environmental, engineering, industrial, and consumer products fields.
MIT Media Lab
By abstracting electronic content from its traditional physical representations, the Media Lab helped to create now-familiar areas such as digital video and multimedia. The success of this agenda is now leading to a growing focus on how electronic information overlaps with the everyday physical world.
UROP and Graduate Research Projects
Founded in 1969, MIT’s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program invites undergraduates to work with MIT faculty on research-based intellectual collaborations. UROP is one of the most important means for students to foster mentoring relationships with faculty and research staff. Approximately 80% of undergraduates participate at least once during their time at MIT.
MIT-Stanford Venture Laboratory (Vlab) is the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the MIT Enterprise Forum and is well-established as one of the premier high-tech forums in the Silicon Valley. Vlab is a volunteer-run, non-profit, joint venture founded by the MIT Enterprise Forum, the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing, and the Alumni Association of the Graduate School of Business. Its mission is to encourage the growth and success of technology-based entrepreneurial ventures in Northern California.
MIT Venture Mentoring Service (VMS)
VMS supports innovation and entrepreneurial activity throughout the MIT community by matching prospective entrepreneurs with volunteer mentors who can boost the probability of a start-up’s success.
