The Mortara Center for International Studies was founded through the generosity of the late Mr. Michael P. Mortara, his wife, Mrs.
The Mortara Center seeks to advance scholarship and inform policy by combining the expertise of scholars and the experience of international affairs practitioners to illuminate the fundamental forces that shape international relations. Virginia Mortara, and their friends, in January 2003. Mortara envisioned a center of scholarly inquiry at the School of Foreign Service that would embody the missio
n of the School and its focus on the intersection of theory and practice in international affairs. Today, the Mortara Center for International Studies promotes scholarly, interdisciplinary research by faculty and students, advancing policy-relevant knowledge about international political, social, and economic issues, and generating communities of research and practice on key global concerns. The Mortara Center is located in the Mortara Building, a historic town house at 3600 N Street NW, Washington, DC, that officially opened in September 2005. The gorgeously remodeled building features a large conference room with advanced audio-visual technology utilized for classes and events on a daily basis; a small conference room used for faculty and student research and small meetings; and office facilities for School of Foreign Service faculty and staff. The Mortara Building also houses the Center for Security Studies, which is located in the building's lower level. This physical space serves as the central hub for research activities at the School of Foreign Service; bringing together Georgetown scholars researching pressing global issues with policy-makers and other important change agents.
