The faculty of the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy engages in the interdisciplinary enterprise of problem solving in the public interest. We are a learning community especially interested in policy concerning science and innovation, the environment, economic development and governance of information technology. The problems we address are complex, with many interests to satisfy and a scale beyond the reach of any single organization or academic discipline.

We house one of the world's top programs in the field of science and technology (S&T) policy. We are a university partner in the European Union's network of excellence in technology and innovation policy ("PRIME"), and we host a major international conference on S&T policy that brings participants from every continent. Because nearly every policy area is intertwined with S&T issues -- the environment, communications, transportation, biotechnology and health, urban development, workforce and education, -- the School is at the center of a wide range of important international, national, and state policy questions.
