About Science, Technology and International Affairs Program (STIA), Georgetown University

Drawing on Georgetown’s expertise across international affairs, public policy, global health, environmental studies and security studies, the School of Foreign Service (SFS) established the Science, Technology and International Affairs (STIA) program in 1982 to educate the next generation of leaders skilled in science and technology, create knowledge that will advance cross-cutting solutions for today’s most pressing issues, and drive innovation at the nexus of science and international affairs. We aim to develop and transmit critical knowledge needed to meet the challenges of a global future in which economic development, improved human health, international security, energy efficiency, and the environment are sustainable and achieved equitably. The Program’s educational and research missions focus on the interactions of science, technology, society, and international affairs within the areas of business, development, security, global health, energy, and the environment. STIA approaches its mission through the integration of multiple academic perspectives, drawing from the theory and practice of the natural sciences and the social sciences, and linking them policy and practice as a resource for the next generation of ethically and socially conscious leaders in science, business, government, medicine, and civil society. To achieve this goal, the Program draws upon the rich resources of the Washington, DC area for courses, internships, lectures, and research opportunities.
