Research Centers

Plugging in to the MIT research powerhouse
The opportunity to access late-breaking research attracts many students to the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership. Fellows have at their disposal all the resources of the Institute, giving them the ability to customize their learning experience to fulfill their own professional interests.

MIT's research programs, centers, and initiatives generate leading-edge knowledge that won't reach classrooms beyond the Institute for years to come. Working closely with faculty across the MIT campus, MIT Sloan Fellows tap into these resources and serve as conduits between their companies and research centers of strategic interest.

Some of the many MIT research centers based at MIT Sloan:

Created in partnership with industry, The MIT Center for Digital Business (formerly the Center for eBusiness@MIT) provides leadership for faculty, students, and organizations interested in Internet-enabled business.
