This paper summarizes the Multiple Parton Interactions studies in CMS, focusing on the already performed low pT QCD measurements up to highest centre of mass energies of 7 TeV and discussing the plans for the direct measurement of the multiple high-pT scatterings. The underlying event in pp interactions is studied measuring the charged multiplicity density and the charged energy density in the transverse region, which is defined considering the azimuthal distance of the reconstructed tracks with respect to the leading track-jet of the event, defined from tracks according to a jet clustering algorithms. In addition, we present the measurement of the underlying event using the jet-area/median approach, demonstrating its sensitivity to different underlying event scenarios. Observations in the central region are complemented by the mea- surement of the energy flow in the forward direction for minimum bias and central di-jet events. We compare our underlying event and forward results with the predictions from different Monte Carlo event generators and tunes, aiming to best parametrize the multiple parton interaction energy de- pendence starting from the Monte Carlo tunes developed to best fit the charged particle spectra measured at central rapidities. Finally we discuss the strategy to directly measure the multiple particle interactions rate focusing on the topologies with two hard scatterings in the same event.
