Networks thrive when each of the nodes conclude that they can achieve greater success linked to other nodes.

Tech & Society
The Tech & Society initiative brings together seven centers and programs at Georgetown that are deeply immersed in particular parts of the technology and society equation: ethics, privacy, national security, law, policy, governance, and data—and we are building connective tissue between them. We identify the points of connection between them, and then create opportunities for them to collaborate in tangible and productive ways.
Ultimately, we are an ecosystem. The work is already happening—what we do is build connective tissue and stretch existing structures of the university to create multi/cross-disciplinary spaces to explore emerging questions and realities—especially those that don’t yet have clear answers.

The network will study intersecting issues and challenges in the fields of biomedicine and biomedical ethics, digital ethics, and environmental justice.
