We are a research and study center where the expertise of Notre Dame meets the knowledge of the city of Rome.
The Gateway 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.
A two-week program for graduate students, scholars and practitioners working at the crossroads of religion and global politics which is designed to draw on the unique religious and geopolitical resources of the city of Rome. The Seminars will begin with a 2-day policy dialogue for senior scholars and practitioners followed by a 10-day writing workshop for students. Applications for the 2024 Rome Summer Seminars (June 2-June 15) are now open!
