The Cambridge-MIT Institute was established to explore how academics, industrialists and educators might work together to stimulate competitiveness, productivity and entrepreneurship. 

As many UK institutions have considerable expertise in knowledge development and exchange, we have collaborated with a wide range of partners. We have sought to make a difference in three main areas:

  • Education for Innovation
  • Knowledge Integration in Research
  • Engaging Industry in Knowledge Exchange

We have also developed a better understanding of how to organise and manage complex international relationships, and we hope this will be helpful in the design and operation of future partnerships.

We are keen to share our experiences and the effective practices we have developed. This website provides an introduction and "way in" to the Cambridge-MIT Institute’s activities and links to our many partners, projects and initiatives.

The first phase of the Cambridge-MIT partnership is now complete and the lessons learned are being captured and shared. This website forms part of that sharing process. Many significant activities have already emerged and have established an independent life; some of these are described in the following pages.

The Cambridge-MIT Partnership Programme will encourage wide participation in the many collaborative activities and communities that have developed, and will act as a catalyst for the growing transatlantic academic and industrial community.
