Our Objectives
We seek to:
- Pioneer the use of field experiments and real-world methods to study innovation.
- Build a collaborative research community across Harvard University and beyond.
- Connect academic research with practice to improve innovation outcomes through evidence-based approaches.
- Educate students and practitioners on emerging innovation science topics.
- Develop the next generation of innovation scholars grounded in empirical methods.
Problem Statement
As AI transforms the economy and society, organizations face urgent questions about how to design, implement, and govern these technologies. There’s a critical need for research that bridges theory and practice, grounded in experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and engagement with real-world stakeholders.
