The Committee was established in January 1993 as part of the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) Council for Industrial Development. Its main goals are:  To build a theory of industrial development of relevance to the regional economy.  To assess the contributions of enterprises and institutions (including UML) to the innovative performance of the regional economy.  CITA must be strategic, focused, and integrated in providing support for social science research and external funding. CITA must be active in reorienting standards of academic excellence in the social sciences at UML to serve the economic development mission. CITA must help establish an explicit system for reallocating the time and energy, and recognizing the contributions, of UML faculty to building capabilities for the economic development mission. CITA must take steps to make better use of relevant intellectual resources available to us in the region. CITA must help the University in spurring innovation in the region
