The Center's mission is to leverage technology to solve public problems and design modern governance. The Center seeks to become a global leader in advancing the research and practice of policy informatics to address complex public issues. The Center advances its mission and vision by engaging in a variety of interdisciplinary and cross-sector research activities that focus on four categories of policy informatics - societal change, policy analysis, design interventions, and field building - that transcend contexts, including health, education, environment, and governance.
