CTG's research program contributes in many ways to the academic life of the University at Albany. Through courses, internships, and other opportunities for faculty and students, the Center is closely engaged to the teaching and research missions of the University.

As part of the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy's Master of Public Administration (MPA) Program, CTG directors have developed the nationally-ranked Information Strategy and Management Concentration. According to U.S. News and World Report's most recent graduate school rankings, this specialty area is ranked #2 in the country for best public affairs schools for information and technology management programs.

CTG is also linked to the MPA program through its graduate assistants, student, and research projects.

CTG directors participate in the design and management of the information science doctoral program. They also teach courses that focus on information policy, theory, and strategic decision-making.

The Visiting Scholar Program attracts digital government researchers from around the world. CTG accepts applications for both short- and long-term visits through a competitive review process.

A core aspect of CTG's mission is to take an active role in the community of researchers studying and adding to the growing body of knowledge about IT in government. We accomplish this, in part, through our participation in national and international academic conferences.

For the last several years, we have played active roles in organizing the following major conferences:

Annual Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o)

Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)

International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance (ICEGOV)

Graduate assistants and student interns participate in many aspects of the partnership and research projects conducted at the Center.

Center researchers have been active members of the University's IT Commons curriculum.
