Today, some of the best PIT-centered work is being launched from academia. Undergraduate and graduate students are putting PIT into practice and making real change in the world. During this panel we will hear from five graduate students who are having success using PIT as their starting point. 
We will discuss:

Why they decided to focus on PIT in their post-grad work;

What kinds of questions and PIT issues they are exploring;

How they are working with people in the public, private, NGO and NfP sectors to gain experience and insights;

What kinds of new approaches, theories and methods are challenging the status quo;

What they learned pursuing their projects in science and technology policy, human and social dimensions, innovation and global development, responsible innovation;

What’s next for them when they complete their programs
 
Which tips or practices were most successful for them when they first got started.
