Since its inception in 2014, the Jerusalem Global Gateway has collaborated with academic, diplomatic, governmental, and religious partners to provide scholarly, social, spiritual and service-learning opportunities. The Gateway also hosts conferences, workshops, symposia, and research studies lead by both Notre Dame faculty and international scholars, making it an ideal choice for short and long-term stays by students, post-docs, and scholars throughout the world. 

The Jerusalem Global Gateway and the Tantur Ecumenical Institute share space in what is affectionately known as "Tantur." Tantur is located between the Old City of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, a crossroad of diverse cultures, religions, languages, and opportunities.
