Center for Global Futures

As part of the generous gift from the Schnitzer family, the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages is launching the Center for Global Futures, an interdisciplinary hub of scholars and practitioners dedicated to understanding, educating about, and preparing for future trends and challenges across our world. 

The goal of this center is to not only raise the Schnitzer School’s national and global profile but also foster intellectual conversations on some of the future issues that the world faces.

Each conference will include distinguished lectures featuring renowned speakers on topics of global significance, engaging academics, policymakers, and the public. The event will also highlight a global fellows and visiting scholars-in-residence program to invite top-tier scholars and practitioners, including international journalists, to collaborate on cutting-edge research. 

The Harold Schnitzer Scholar Prize will be awarded through a competitive process at the annual academic conference to honor excellence in global research.
