Faculty Fellows

Faculty Fellows

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 and Science and Arts and Letters, and schools of Law, 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 first-hand.

Fellows are eligible for a wide range of generous Institute grants.

Individuals interested in becoming a faculty fellow must be a faculty member at the University of Notre Dame and nominated by a current fellow or the director. Nominations may be emailed to the Associate Director, Grant Osborn (gosborn@nd.edu).
