Georgia Institute of Technology

Georgia Tech houses an internationally-recognized cluster of expertise in science and technology policy, including nanotechnology research and innovation systems assessment, which involves data-mining of large-scale databases as well as other qualitative and quantitative methodologies utilized in CNS-ASU's Research and Innovation System Analysis (RTTA 1).

Georgia Tech's School of Public Policy is also home to the Technology Policy and Assessment Center (TPAC). TPAC specializes in innovation studies and models, the evaluation of research and development, and science and technology policy, forecasting and assessment. TPAC faculty pioneered the Research Program Mapping and Public Value Mapping methods that CNS-ASU employs and extends. Georgia Tech also hosts three Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Teams (NIRTs) and ranks in the top 12 institutions globally for nanotechnology citations (1992-2002).
