IAP Climate
MIT is launching a cohort of student researchers to work collaboratively with MIT offices and local city and community leaders to tackle shared challenges related to climate change. The focus for IAP 2025 (January 6 - January 31, 2025) will be understanding and communicating heat risk; and developing heat risk reduction efforts.
When you participate in IAP Climate:
1. You and our community partners benefit from your commitment to sustainability and developing innovative solutions.
2. Practitioners benefit from your energy, insights, and projects.
3. You benefit from the opportunity to develop your professional skills while learning firsthand about climate change.
How it works
You’ll be spending four weeks in January 2025 through a full-time, hybrid work model. IAP Climate matches you with campus/community partners and projects that seek to address climate change with innovative solutions. Our partners seek students with a wide variety of skills; this experience is open to students across courses at MIT with an interest in sustainability and climate. We pay your travel expenses, provide a stipend, and help with the cost of materials.
IAP Climate will provide you with experience in the field. You will work with professionals, collaborate with fellow students to serve clients, and work on specifically assigned projects based on your skills and the needs of the host organization. You will attend workshops to prepare you to consult with your host/s and implement your project. During IAP, you’ll also participate in community dinners with your cohort of MIT students to share and process your experience in the field.
