Join us for the launch of NYU's new Alliance for Public Interest Technology!

The NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology is a dynamic and multidisciplinary group of NYU faculty who are experts on the responsible and ethical creation, use and governance of technology in society. The Alliance is a provostial initiative that connects numerous NYU hubs and initiatives to create productive synergies across areas and interests related to public interest technology (PIT) and the University’s research, teaching, and commitment to civic engagement. The Alliance leverages these connections to support PIT students and graduates, to assess and evaluate their training and career trajectories, support new interdisciplinary PIT research, develop pipelines for diverse students doing PIT work, recognize faculty for PIT work, build new national collaborations with academic and non-academic institutions, and develop an international network of partner institutions.

In fire-presentations, panels and discussions, NYU faculty and students will share their current work on public interest technology and discuss their plans for a future of equitable technology. This event has a rolling program, free breakfast and refreshments will be provided throughout the event. PIT-relevant publications by NYU faculty will be sold at the event.

The event space is wheelchair accessible.
