The Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation was founded in 2014 to provide training and experiential opportunities for students, faculty, and global leaders to enact solution-based social change.
The Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation at Georgetown University brings together students, expert practitioners, and extended networks to work on projects that solve societal challenges using data, design, technology, and policy. Our projects test new ways for public and private institutions to leverage data and analytics, digital technologies, and service design to help more people. For more information, please visit [beeckcenter.georgetown.edu](http://beeckcenter.georgetown.edu/). We bring four distinct offerings to carry out our work: - **Actionable Research + Tools**: We iteratively document what works and support implementation so solutions get to more places and help more people. - **Network Catalyst**: We build and empower communities of practice and networks for collaboration, resource sharing, and sustained application of leading practices. - **Policy Advocacy**: We monitor, identify, and amplify important policy areas, offering expert guidance for those positioned to be most responsive to current moments. - **Skills + Pathways**: We invest in and train students and practitioners with skills in data, design, and technology.
