Past Events

MIT CISR offers a selection of ​research events each year at which our sponsor and patron members can hear and discuss findings from our ongoing research, presented by members of our research team. These events, based in varying locations globally—or virtually—provide opportunities for members to engage directly with the research, the researchers, and each other.
