Register for our webinar on the Future of the Ethiopian Social Contract on Wednesday, June 14
We believe that relationships – among individuals and institutions, globally and locally – can fuel knowledge and develop solutions to global challenges.
Northwestern University’s Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs brings together the brightest minds from across Northwestern University and around the world to address critical global challenges that cannot be solved from a singular disciplinary or geographic perspective. Our mission is to foster meaningful engagement across borders of all kinds. We create opportunities for dialogue across academic disciplines—the humanities, social sciences, business, law, medicine, the arts and more—and catalyze connections between researchers and experts from government, industry, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations worldwide.
