Innovation Network

Open to institutions that have completed 3 or more years of J-WEL membership

Continuing Membership Benefits

Membership provides numerous opportunities to accelerate practical, relevant ideas and knowhow. Jameel World Education Lab members shore up their capacity through developmental experiences and the community of practice that we anchor. Our materials, workshops, and programs provide frameworks, examples, and ideas that members draw on in their own innovation efforts. After members have been part of our network for three years, we offer them a means of staying connected during the next phase of their evolution: the Innovation Network Membership.

The most successful of our members disseminated insights and ideas within their institutions and communities to magnify impact and embed the best ideas into practice. Our programs equip members to develop education programs, curriculum, and research in exchange with MIT faculty leaders, provide curated access to MIT's resources and research, and offer opportunities to advise the Jameel World Education Lab on research priorities and program plans. We are a true laboratory for learning that invites educators from around the world to work through their educational challenges and deliver actionable solutions alongside MIT faculty, staff, and fellow Jameel World Education Lab members.

Membership fees support the research, events, and activities of the Jameel World Education Lab.
