The University of Chicago's founding principles are modeled on the great German research institutions of the nineteenth century combined with an English-style undergraduate college. Our reach spreads across the continent, from our century-old East European/Eurasian language studies program delivered on campus, an EMBA program at Chicago Booth School of Business' London Campus and our Center in Paris, now a hub for collaboration and a springboard for the University’s reach in the region.
Started in 2017, the Chicago Center for German Philosophy is the most recent development in the University of Chicago’s rich history of scholarship centered on the German philosophical tradition.

In their new paper, “Is There Really a Dictator’s Dilemma? Information and Repression in Autocracy,” Scott Gehlbach and Zhaotian Luo from the University of Chicago, Anton Shirikov from the University of Kansas, and Dmitriy Vorobyev from PRIGO University use game theory to build on economist Ronald Wintrobe’s seminal academic work on the nature of dictatorship.
The Global Alliance for Genomics and Health (GA4GH) has named the Biomedical Research Hub as one of ten genomic data initiatives with clinical connections as its newest Driver Projects. The collaborations will allow genomic data standards to make new inroads into medicine and biomedical research.
