MIT's Media Lab Europe closes its doors

January 21, 2005

The Board of directors of Media Lab Europe announced on Friday, Jan. 14 that the lab would be closing Feb. 1 due to a shortfall in financing. Launched in 2000 by the Irish government and MIT, Media Lab Europe (MLE) was a groundbreaking research and innovation laboratory in the fields of digital technologies. The lab, located in Dublin, grew to a community of close to 100 people, many of whom came to Ireland from across Europe and the U.S. The lab launched a substantial array of projects in association with corporate sponsors such as Ericsson, Intel and Orange, and development agencies including Highlands and Islands Enterprise in Scotland. Fourteen patent applications were filed by the lab's researchers. The lab also participated in a number of European Union-funded research collaborations.
