PIT-UN is dedicated to growing a new interdisciplinary field around public interest technology and aims to place people, especially those most vulnerable or marginalized, at the center of technology development. The partnership is an opportunity for GW to combine its historical strengths in fields like law, policy and international affairs with technology innovation to grow a new generation of civic-minded technologists and digitally fluent policy leaders. We believe the GW OSPO aligns nicely with these goals and open source practices can enable students, faculty, and staff to build and share public interest technologies to positively impact society.
