The Nanovic Institute is home to more than 150 faculty in European studies from more than twenty-five departments at Notre Dame.
The institute’s faculty fellows come from the Mendoza College of Business, the Colleges of Engineering, Science, and Arts and Letters, the Schools of Law and Architecture, and the Keough School of Global Affairs. They teach courses, conduct research, organize symposia, advise students, and advise the director through fellows’ meetings and the Faculty Committee.
The institute supports their research in European studies, especially their interdisciplinary projects and collaborations with European peers and graduate students. In addition, the institute supports the internationalization of their classrooms at Notre Dame, permitting faculty to take entire seminars to Europe during the year or summer break to study European topics firsthand.
Fellows are eligible for a wide range of institute grants .
Individuals interested in becoming a faculty fellow must be a regular faculty member at the University of Notre Dame and nominated by a current fellow or the director. Fellows interested in nominating a colleague to become a Faculty Fellow should complete the Fellow nomination form , including a letter of support; questions about the process or timeline may be directed via email to Rev. James Lies, C.S.C. , Senior Advisor for Faculty Fellow Affairs and Partnerships.
