PIT-UN Members

In 2019, New America’s Public Interest Technology program created the Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN), a collaboration of universities and colleges. Members commit to developing curricula, research agendas, and experiential learning programs in the public interest technology space. Any individual employed as faculty or staff at a member institution may be able to take advantage of the members-only opportunities.

Members are eligible to participate in a learning community of scholars and practitioners seeking to prepare civic-minded technologists and leaders; apply for grant funding opportunities (open only to Network members); and attend an annual convening to discuss shared challenges and goals, and access workshops and seminars to showcase the latest advancements in PIT, such as exclusive access to tool kits, training, and resources.

PIT-UN Network Inquiry

Interest in PIT-UN has been robust. We are pausing the expansion of our network while we engage in strategic planning. 

We will relaunch in summer 2025.  Watch this space!

At this time we are not accepting new membership applications.
