Current TDP projects involve close to forty MIT faculty members whose areas of interest span across the Institute. TDP facilitates access to research in different countries and institutions for MIT faculty and students. It only undertakes research projects if an MIT faculty member is interested in leading the project and if the project will involve MIT students. Many TDP research projects are interdisciplinary and give its stakeholders the great benefit of MIT expertise and enthusiasm.
