The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies is Cornell's hub for campus engagement and global thinking and action. The Einaudi Center has helped students and scholars across borders of language, culture, nationality, and academic discipline for more than half a century. Today Cornell is one of the most international universities in the world.
Nine regional and thematic programs are the heart of the Einaudi Center:
- East Asia Program
- Institute for African Development
- Institute for European Studies
- Latin American and Caribbean Studies
- Migrations Program
- Reppy Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies
- South Asia Program
- Southeast Asia Program
- Southwest Asia and North Africa Program
Our programs promote new ways of understanding peoples and places. Our faculty and students work across disciplinary lines to tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems. The Einaudi Center spearheads research on transnational challenges including inequalities and justice, migrations, and democratic resilience. It sponsors faculty fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars and practitioners; awards research and travel grants to faculty and students; organizes conferences, lectures, workshops, debates, and other events; produces podcasts, books, journals, and other publications; offers undergraduate and graduate minors; and provides undergraduate international internships and research fellowships. The center works across campus to internationalize Cornell’s research, teaching, and outreach.
The Einaudi Center’s signature events include the annual Bartels World Affairs Lecture, which brings distinguished international figures to campus to speak on global topics and meet with Cornell students and faculty, and the Lund Critical Debate Series. Most of the Einaudi Center’s programs also host weekly seminars and other events throughout the academic year.
