MIT-Argentina & Uruguay (MISTI)

Principal Investigator Eduardo Rivera

Co-investigator Maye Elqasem


Argentinian and Uruguayan companies, universities, and research institutes are leaders in the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship, mining, agriculture, sustainable development, urban transportation, astronomy, and many others. These fields, which are continually changing, are exciting points of intersection for creating paths to future collaborations and understanding what is beneficial to our world. 

Each year, through the MISTI Argentina & Uruguay Program undergraduate and graduate students intern and conduct research in Argentinian & Uruguayan companies and labs. Our teaching programs - Global Teaching Labs - support the educational efforts of our local partners in science and technology.
