Notre Dame Global Gateways
The University of Notre Dame boasts a network of extraordinary facilities located around the world—the Notre Dame Global Gateways. The Global Gateways are academic and intellectual centers, where scholars, students and leaders from universities, government, business, and community gather to discuss, discover and debate issues of topical and enduring relevance.
The six Notre Dame Global Gateways are located in Beijing, Chicago, Dublin, Jerusalem, London and Rome.
Each Global Gateway has a dedicated staff who collaborate with their counterparts on the home campus to support these programs. Notre Dame International coordinates the management of the Global Gateways and supports faculty in developing and maintaining the programs they house.
