Cambridge – MIT Collaboration (CMI)
Aim
The Cambridge-MIT Institute was established to explore how academics, industrialists and educators might work together to stimulate competitiveness, productivity and entrepreneurship
Background
CMI’s mission was to deliver education and research to enhance the competitiveness, productivity and entrepreneurship of the UK economy. It focused on the interface between academia and industry, and is concerned with improving the effectiveness of the knowledge exchange process.
The first phase of the Cambridge-MIT partnership is now complete and the lessons learned are being captured and shared. Many significant activities have already emerged and have established an independent life. The ongoing Cambridge-MIT partnership 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.
