Throughout the academic year, the Industrial Performance Center sponsors a doctoral seminar series which serves as a thesis workshop for the Center's Doctoral Fellows and other IPC affiliated students, and that also attracts students from elsewhere at MIT who are engaged in research on topics related to the Center's research themes. The students present and discuss their work in progress, discuss and compare research methodologies, and evaluate recent research contributions in the field.

Doctoral students participating in the seminar this semester are drawn from many departments, including the Engineering Systems Division, Dept. of Political Science, Dept. of Urban Planning & Studies, Dept. of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and the Sloan School of Management, as well as the University of Milan.

Attendance by non-IPC affiliated doctoral students is by invitation only. Send inquiries to ipc@mit.edu.
