Last season, on the Common Mission Podcast we hosted a diverse lineup of thought leaders & experts. They shared perspectives on how innovation & policy intersect in defense and tech sectors. Missed an episode? See them here: resource.commonmission.us/knowledge/comm…

@UMich @Hacking4Defense students will be tackling real DOD problems this semester including improving seismometer testing, speeding up ship maintenance, enhancing soldier readiness, countering unauthorized Unmanned Aerial Systems (and more!). Good luck teams!

Hacking for Impact (H4I) students are tackling diverse challenges this semester, showcasing the breadth of environmental issues that our program can address: mitigating fishery bycatch, removing marine debris, addressing plastic reduction, invasive species prevention, and more.

One of our @Hacking4Defense instructors and a member of our Board of Advisors - Jacqueline Tame - will be a panelist at the #TechDebate2024, hosted by @TechDuelsHQ at @GeorgeMasonU. Not to be missed. Should be fascinating.

We wish the students starting their Hacking 4 Impact (H4I) journey this spring good luck! This will be the biggest H4I cohort at 10 universities: @JMU, @RITtigers, @UniversityRI, @IUBloomington, @Stanford, @ucsc, @UWMadison, @rollinscollege, @UPR_Oficial, & @NorthwesternU.

Exciting news from @RMASandhurst! The Hacking4MoD program by @CommonMissionUK is a pioneering initiative in defence education. This program is revolutionizing how cadets approach problem-solving, emphasizing hands-on experience and agile innovation. commonmission.us/thought-leader…

Working with the @USNavy, our colleagues at @BMNT_inc proved that a disciplined innovation pipeline can accelerate the integration of new technology. See article below for how they did it. Hint: a disciplined Innovation Pipeline was the foundation. bmnt.com/customer-succe…

We are proud to support the NASA MSI INCUBATOR Wildfire Climate Tech Challenge. @NASA is inviting submissions from students, faculty, & employees of Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) to address both natural & climate change-exacerbated wildfires. Deadline is Feb 2, 8 PM EST.

The CMP team closed out 2023 by participating in Wreath Across America at Arlington National Cemetery, laying wreaths to honor our heroes. It was a touching moment for the team to unite and pay tribute to those who served. Looking forward to another successful year in 2024.

Happy New Year! As we reflect on 2023, we are are grateful for the support of our partners and colleagues who support our mission of solving the great challenges of our time. To read more about what we accomplished in 2023, read our annual report here: commonmission.us/thought-leader…

Congrats to the Fall 2023 cohort of @Hacking4Defense students on their fantastic work addressing our nation's top NatSec challenges! Over 100 students at 11 universities worked on 40 problems sourced directly from @DeptofDefense officials.

ICYMI: Check out the latest #CommonMissionPodcast! Jim & Rodrigo explore the recent governance challenges at #OpenAI. They analyze the implications these developments have on the AI landscape & mission-driven innovation. Listen here: resource.commonmission.us/knowledge/ep.-…

We are proud to work with our partners at BMNT to deliver @Hacking4Defense. The program is a strategic innovation capability for the @DeptofDefense w/3,000 students using innovation methods & tools to explore 900 NatSec challenges during the program. bmnt.com/customer-succe…

That's a wrap! @JMU student teams presented their insights and innovative solutions for tech & cybersecurity challenges provided by the @StateDept @StateDeptDSS. Great work by these next-generation national security entrepreneurs during a semester of rigorous discovery.

Congratulations to Jacqueline Tame and Justin Fanelli for running a tremendous @Hacking4Defense course at @Georgetown this semester. And, kudos to the students, as well. Their efforts helped our @DeptofDefense partners attack critical national security challenges.
