The European Studies Course Development and Teaching Grant, administered by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame, provides targeted support to regular-rank faculty for the creation and teaching of new undergraduate courses in European Studies across any discipline. The program aims to enrich the curriculum by encouraging faculty innovation and addressing priority themes such as diplomacy, Ukrainian studies, Nanovic research priorities (e.g., "the peripheries"), university initiatives, and courses qualifying for the Ways of Knowing attribute. Funding is designed to both incentivize new course development and ensure sustained curricular impact.
