Project Start Date August 2024
The MIT Human Insight Collaborative (MITHIC) will unlock the power of human insight to expand humanity’s horizons, to educate tomorrow’s leaders, and to unite top scholars in the human-centered disciplines with colleagues across the Institute to address the world’s greatest challenges.
MITHIC will foster creativity, inquiry, and understanding, and amplify impact on global challenges like climate change, AI, pandemics, poverty, democracy, and more. You can help to:
Energize Innovation and Inspiration with new resources for ambitious endeavors in the arts and humanities that broaden humanity’s horizons.
Empower Interdisciplinary Teams led by experts in human-centered disciplines with colleagues across the Institute to achieve large-scale, long-term impact.
Elevate Human-Centered Education across MIT with new tools and techniques that equip new generations of leaders with human-centered knowledge and skills.
There are three funds launched under the MIT Human Insight Collaborative (MITHIC): the SHASS+ Connectivity Fund, the Humanities Cultivation Fund, and the SHASS Education Innovation Fund. The funds will run for at least 3 years. For all funds, proposals are welcome for projects that are ready to begin as well as planning grants in preparation for future proposals.
