The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies was established in 1961 to encourage and support comparative and interdisciplinary research on international subjects. Currently, it supports three U.S. Department of Education Title VI National Resource Centers (NRCs), i.e., the East Asia Program, South Asia Program, and Southeast Asia Program, and 16 other international programs. While some programs offer study of geographic regions, others focus on such topics as international agriculture, nutrition, population, law, planning, politics, rural development economics, and world peace. More than 800 faculty members voluntarily collaborate with the center and its associated programs. Undergraduate students may choose from a variety of minors such as international relations, Latin American studies, modern European studies, French studies, East Asian studies, South Asian studies, Southeast Asian studies, global health, or international agriculture and rural development.

In its ongoing effort to anticipate and respond to changing global circumstances and perspectives, the center applies its resources to new pilot activities and initiatives that bring faculty members and students together across traditional disciplines and departmental boundaries. As part of its Foreign Policy Initiative, the center has formed a network of 40 faculty members, brought experts to campus to speak on topical themes as part of a Distinguished Speaker Series, and provided seed funding for activities in foreign policy studies. The center also organizes semi-annual seed grant and small grant competitions for faculty and programs to advance international studies at Cornell and support faculty to mobilize additional external support.

The undergraduate course, GOVT 3553 - Issues Behind the News , is coordinated by the center and offered by the Department of Government in the College of Arts and Sciences.  The center invites faculty from across the university to deepen students’ understanding of issues on the front pages of newspapers as events unfold during the semester.

Each year the center brings an eminent world leader to campus as the Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels World Affairs Fellow to deliver a public lecture, meet with classes, and interact informally with faculty members and students. The center also hosts a Current Events Roundtable each June that enables Cornell alumni to join faculty members in discussions of key world events.

Graduate students’ overseas field research is supported through the center’s annual travel grant competition as well as the Fulbright fellowship program and the Fulbright-Hays awards, which are both administered by the center. The NRCs and the Cornell Institute for European Studies administer the Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship (FLAS) program, which provides funds for graduate and undergraduate students.

The Einaudi Center also shares Cornell’s expertise in international studies with community colleges, four-year colleges, universities, and K-12 public schools in New York State, together with the Area Studies Programs, by offering resources, activities, and special events related to Africa, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Web sites of many international programs are hosted by the center along with the university’s International Gateway (www.international.cornell.edu), a website created by the center to showcase Cornell’s international dimensions.
