Northwestern Buffett is enhancing the global reach of research and bringing together the brightest minds around the world to solve critical global challenges that cannot be addressed from a singular disciplinary or geographical perspective. 

A rapid, creative, and iterative approach helps groups produce ideas that move past recommending incremental changes toward creating substantive solutions.

Learn more about our model.

Northwestern Buffett is creating a new model of international collaboration through an alliance of global universities. This alliance offers a promising example of leadership in a world in which no one nation or institution can lead by itself. 

Universities serve a role in their local communities as sites of open dialogue where members can discuss areas of critical concern. Global university partnerships expand this dialogue exponentially, helping universities accommodate individual institutional gaps in diversity, resources, and reach. 

Learn about our vision for the global alliance.

We have consolidated several global offices on campus, allowing for new learning and research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as enhanced services for our international students, scholars, and faculty.

In doing so, we have an unprecedented opportunity to increase Northwestern’s global strength and presence and to amplify our impact on our students, faculty, staff, and the world.
