MIT is part of the 66 university Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN).  Professor Larry Susskind is MIT's official representative to the Network. We are trying to generate a discussion at MIT of the meaning of "public interest technology." We have done that by creating a new digital publication that is update monthly. Subscriptions are free.  

Every month we feature interviews with MIT students and faculty discussing the ways in which their technology research/practice seeks to advance the public interest.
