Letter regarding MIT Community Forum on The Engine Working Groups

The following email was sent today to the MIT community by Provost Martin A. Schmidt.

To the members of the MIT community:

I write to invite you to an MIT community forum on The Engine Working Groups that will take place on Wednesday, March 22, 2017, 5:00 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. in Kirsch Hall (32-123). The Working Groups were launched in December 2016 to guide the development of Institute policies and procedures related to work of The Engine, a new innovation accelerator for startups pursuing capital- and time-intensive technologies.

During the forum, we will hear updates on The Engine and preliminary recommendations from the Working Group chairs. Speakers include: Executive Vice President & Treasurer Israel Ruiz; President & CEO of The Engine Katie Rae; chair of MIT's The Engine Advisory Committee, Professor Anantha Chandrakasan; and the Working Group chairs: Professors Martin Culpepper, Timothy Swager, Klavs Jensen, Dick Yue, Fiona Murray, and Vladimir Bulovic.

Also, a significant amount of time will be dedicated to hearing from the community through Q&A and sharing of additional ideas. As a reminder, an idea bank is still active for capturing ideas as well.

I hope very much that you will be able to join us. To register, please visit this website.

Sincerely,

Martin A. Schmidt
Provost
