Prince of Wales Fellows
The Prince of Wales/Prince Edward Fellowship (based at MIT and Harvard) are engaged with various governmental agencies for the investigation and development of new Civil Affairs Science (Decision Engineering Science, Sensemaking Science, Social Complexity Science, High Performance Computing Science, et al). These scholars are engaged in Quadruple Helix (academic, industrial, NGO, and governmental) research to address contemporary complex global challenges from a 5D (Diplomacy, Defense, Development, Disaster Relief, and Data) vantage point, and their multidisciplinary Fellowship is well positioned to act upon its common vision of becoming a uniting force in the areas of public service, crisis mitigation, and global stability. The Fellows are currently drawn from the MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies/Science Writing Program, MIT Engineering Systems Division, MIT Sloan School of Management/MIT School of Engineering’s System Design and Management Program, MIT School of Engineering’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, MIT School of Science’s Department of Physics, and MIT School of Architecture and Planning’s Department of Urban Studies and Planning. The Fellowship operates under the auspices of the University of Wales' Dynamic Sensemaking Institute, via the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, the MIT Public Science Communication Research and Production Initiative, and the MIT International Development Initiative.
