Research & Outreach
Center for Science, Technology, and Public Policy

The Center for Science, Technology & Public Policy explores the increasingly important role that science and technology plays in our society and examines its implications for public policy at the international, national and state levels.

Faculty and the Center offer a number of courses in Science, Technology & Environmental Policy and also conduct research workshops, seminars, roundtables and symposia to inform local and national decision-making.

The center convenes workshops, seminars, roundtables, and symposia to educate and inform local and national decision-making.

The Center has focused its research and outreach activities primarily on issues relating to energy, the environment and climate change. We have also published research on issues relating to biotechnology and nanotechnology. Additional areas of interest include the impact of technology based economic development initiatives on regional economies, telecommunications as well as science and math education policies.
