Undergraduate students are at the heart of the work of the Nanovic Institute. From its foundation, the Institute was built to connect students to transformative experiences in Europe.
The institute supports the education and formation of undergraduate programs through a variety of curricular and co-curricular opportunities as well as on-campus events and activities. Students from all majors with an interest in Europe are encouraged to consider a minor in European studies. The institute is pleased to offer a number of engaging and challenging courses open to all students on the past, present, and future of Europe through our EURO curriculum.
In addition to these academic programs, the Institute offers a comprehensive suite of grants for Notre Dame undergraduates who seek to conduct research or an internship in Europe or learn a European language. Students can apply for funding to visit archives in Rome, teach English in Ukraine, or intern at a European institution. The Nanovic Institute also organizes a number of group undergraduate research projects. Previous undergraduate research projects have included, "Europe Responds to the 2020 U.S. Election," "The Road to Europe: Exploring EU Candidacy in the Western Balkans," and "Healthcare and Healing: Exploring Europe's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic."
