We are a research and study center where the expertise of Notre Dame meets the knowledge of the city of Rome.
Notre Dame Rome is open to Notre Dame faculty, researchers, postdocs and graduate students and offers a variety of undergraduate programs for hundreds of students every year. In 2019, it was recognized by the Italian Ministry University and Research (Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca) as an Italian research institution. The center cultivates partnerships with Italian and Vatican institutions in alignment with the university's mission.
In collaboration with the Department of Humanistic Studies at Università Roma Tre, Notre Dame College of Arts and Letters and Center for Italian Studies, Notre Dame Rome is sponsoring a one-year postdoctoral fellowship as part of the research project: Critical success and international diffusion of female Renaissance poetry.
The Graduate School in partnership with Notre Dame Global and the Center for Italian Studies is offering semester- and year-long dissertation research fellowships at Notre Dame Rome to advanced humanities PhD students in the College of Arts and Letters. The goal of this residential fellowship is to facilitate dissertation research for students who demonstrate the need to conduct substantial work in Rome and its vicinity and to create a cohort of scholars engaged in the academic communities of ND Rome and of the city.
