Knowledge Creation

advancing our community’s pursuit of new knowledge

Research shapes the Georgetown learning experience. It leads to crucial discoveries, and it enables the university to engage with pivotal emerging fields. We must strengthen our ability to create and share knowledge that promotes the common good.

The research enterprise at Georgetown University Medical Center is central to that ambition, as the source of so many vital scientific advancements and breakthrough treatments. Beyond GUMC, we are called to contribute new insights and ethical leadership to the most pressing issues of our time. From our work at the intersection of technology, ethics, and governance through the Tech & Society initiative to our efforts addressing the planet’s urgent environmental and sustainability challenges through The Earth Commons Institute, Georgetown has made a defining commitment to tackle big questions, with big implications for students’ trajectory and impact in the world.
