The University of Maryland’s Tech Policy Hub studies tech policy from a socio‑technical perspective, building the bridge between computer science & public policy to understand how policy is designed and implemented for, by, and with tech. Our hub spans the forefront of tech policy across four research areas, bringing together DMV‑based practitioners, scholars, and civil activists to shape the future of technology in society.
