Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study

The Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) is a university-wide institute that convenes an interdisciplinary group of faculty fellows, graduate students, and undergraduate scholars each year to study questions that engage complex ethical challenges of our time and affect our ability to lead valuable, meaningful lives. This summer, NDIAS will become the Notre Dame Institute for Ethics and the Common Good. This change reflects our new, expanded role in the University-wide Ethics Initiative. The Institute will be the home of the new Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Center for Virtue Ethics, recently established in honor of former University President Father Jenkins. It will also house the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab and the Signature Course Fellowship Program, which is supported by a major John Templeton Foundation grant.
