MITFM

MITFM is an acronym used for several initiatives associated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The most widely recognized use is MIT Free Market Forum (MITFM), a student‑run organization at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The forum focuses on economics, public policy, and related topics from a free‑market perspective. It provides a platform for speakers, debates, and discussions that explore economic theory and policy implications.

Activities typically include lectures by visiting scholars, moderated policy debates, reading groups on economics and public policy, and student publications or blogs that summarize discussions. The forum operates with a volunteer leadership structure elected by its members and coordinates with campus groups and, where appropriate, with MIT departments such as economics and political science. It aims to encourage rigorous analysis and civil discussion rather than advocacy for a single ideology.

In other contexts, MITFM may refer to internal programs or research groups at MIT that focus on finance, mathematics, or related quantitative disciplines. Because MIT uses many program names and acronyms, MITFM can have different expansions depending on the department or project involved.
