Schlindwein Family Tel Aviv University – Notre Dame Joint Collaboration Grants
The University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame) and Tel Aviv University (TAU) are pleased to continue their relationship by offering the TAU-ND Joint Research Grant and the Joint Workshop Grant. Through these jointly funded, jointly advertised grants, both institutions are inviting proposals for joint research projects and joint workshops with the potential to achieve international recognition and to generate continued external research funds for both partners.
These grants are made possible with the generous support of University benefactors who separately made a gift directly to TAU for their faculty to further collaborations with Notre Dame.
Where appropriate, projects can be offered administrative and logistical support through Notre Dame Jerusalem.

Unearthing the Past
The University of Notre Dame at Tantur operates on 36 acres between Jerusalem and Bethlehem. The land figures to have historical and spiritual significance, due to its proximity to key holy sites. The list of sites located within several kilometers of Tantur reads like a partial pilgrimage points of interest pamphlet.
Over the summer of 2019, Notre Dame theology students joined professional archaeologists to look for clues buried in the ancient soil of the Holy Land. What the students found could make valuable contributions to our understanding of life at the border of biblical Judah and Philistia, as well as the history of the land purchased in the 1960s for what became the University's campus here.
