Six projects were selected from among the proposals submitted by faculty and research scientists across all departments and research groups at both MIT and Imperial College London. These projects aim to lead to high impact research, discovery science, and the deployment of frontier technologies.
The MIT-Imperial College London Seed Fund is part of the MIT Global Seed Funds program, offered in collaboration with the Center for International Studies and the Office of the Vice Provost for International Activities. The fund seeds activity that supports engagement with the National Science Foundation (NSF), UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and other related national and supra-national bodies/programs.
