Research & Action
The Capitol Campus is an incubator for new ideas that contribute to the common good. Researchers and students from the campus’s schools work together to address important issues facing our world — next door to the nation’s policymakers and leading thinkers.
Working at the Intersection
Through Tech & Society, Georgetown centers and programs across campuses — including several focused on public policy and law — collaborate on new approaches to researching issues at the intersection of technology, ethics and governance.
Solving the Earth’s Problems
The Earth Commons Institute brings together researchers from several fields to address complex problems in the fields of environment and sustainability. The collaborations put the Institute at the forefront of developing scalable solutions for a greener world.
Student Research
Students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels participate in faculty-led research projects across the Capitol Campus and the university. Opportunities also exist for team and individual projects through various research initiatives and fellowships.
Raiding the Genome
Student researchers contributed to the first in-depth analysis of a little-known U.S. government program that takes and stores DNA from immigrants for use in policing. The study was conducted by Georgetown Law’s Center on Privacy and Technology.
Our Research Centers
Researchers on the Capitol Campus work at dozens of campus centers and institutes that use an interdisciplinary lens to investigate and suggest solutions for issues local, national and global.
