Georgetown McCourt names tech-policy visiting fellows in biotech and cyber law

Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy announced on its website that it has appointed a new cohort of visiting fellows to its Tech & Public Policy program. The group brings intersecting expertise in biotechnology, cyber law and digital policy and will be affiliated with McCourt’s research, seminar and public programming in Washington, DC.

The visiting fellows program at McCourt is designed to deepen ties between technical specialists, legal scholars and policy researchers. According to the school, the new appointees will collaborate with faculty, engage with students and contribute to the school’s events and publications. The appointments underline McCourt’s effort to broaden its technical policy capacity at a time when lawmakers and regulators in the capital are intensifying scrutiny of biotech and digital governance.

McCourt’s Tech & Public Policy platform sits at

McCourt’s Tech & Public Policy platform sits at the intersection of the university’s public policy teaching and Washington’s policymaking ecosystem. By bringing practitioners and scholars into short-term residential roles, the school aims to create opportunities for cross-sector dialogue between federal agencies, congressional staff, industry experts and academics. The visiting fellows are expected to participate in seminars, workshops and public panels that feed into the broader DC debate over technology regulation and national security implications of emerging biotech and cyber technologies.

The school’s announcement did not list detailed schedules for individual fellow activities but emphasized public engagement and collaborative research as core elements of the appointments. McCourt’s location in Washington positions the program to act as a convening hub for policymakers and experts focused on high-stakes tech policy choices.
