Emerging Technology and Innovation Program (ETIP)
Programs & initiatives
Overview
The Emerging Technology and Innovation Program (ETIP) was developed to foster a culture of curiosity and experimentation by identifying, testing, and assessing emerging and innovative technologies at Harvard. ETIP is an inclusive approach to innovation, soliciting ideas directly from members of the HUIT community.
Round 5 pilots
Below are the selections from the fifth round of the ETIP program that entered the pilot stage!
Promoting Real-time Engagement, Social Navigation, and Employee Connection Everywhere (PRESENCE)
Ranna Farzan, Amy Vest, Justine Winkelman
- The shift to hybrid work has made it challenging for HUIT staff to know who is on campus and where, limiting collaboration, networking, and efficient use of on-site time.
- Identify and pilot simple, scalable solutions for staff to voluntarily share on-campus plans, leveraging existing tools and local practices to enhance connection and collaboration in a dynamic workplace.
Sustainable and Transformative Sunsetting for Research and Teaching Applications
Cole Crawford, Tricia Patterson, Arthur Barrett
- Sustaining digital scholarship at Harvard is costly and complex, with insufficient planning for long-term preservation leading to project degradation.
- Develop a framework, use web archiving, and test ephemeral environments to simplify, preserve, and extend the usability of end-of-life digital projects.
