MIT-Africa Program (MISTI)

Principal Investigator Mai Hassan

Co-investigator Ari Jacobovits


Experience the diversity and ingenuity of the African continent by taking part in our fully-funded internship, research, and teaching opportunities with leading companies, universities, and other organizations across multiple countries in Northern, Western, Eastern, and Southern Africa. Partners are among the world's most innovative; solving problems with global implications. 

The MIT-Africa Program empowers MIT students and faculty to advance knowledge and solve the world’s great challenges by connecting them with leading researchers, companies, and other partners in African countries. The approach to collaboration is grounded in delivering bi-directional value: contributing to the research, education, and innovation of Africa-based organizations while providing opportunities for MIT students to gain fluency in navigating different cultural contexts.
