Research that crosses borders expands possibilities. Notre Dame Global empowers faculty, scholars, and students to pursue discovery, dialogue, and impact around the world—supported by a network of global locations, strategic partnerships, and on-the-ground expertise.

From academic events and collaborative projects to access to archives, collections, and funding opportunities, NDG helps connect ideas with places and people who bring them to life. Together, the Notre Dame research community seeks truth, advances knowledge, and shapes solutions that serve humanity.
