Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

Project MAC, the research group of Professors Sussman and Abelson, co-authors of the textbook Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, uses its own implementation, MIT/GNU Scheme, for non-programming-languages research, but incidental programming languages research does make its way into the implementation.

OpenCog Foundation

OpenCog uses Scheme for scripting.

Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN

Jeffrey Mark Siskind, author of Stalin, an optimizing compiler for Scheme
