EU Jean Monnet Program
The purpose of the EU Jean Monnet Program is to support and develop research related to the European Union (EU) worldwide. This program promotes advanced practices in teaching and research related to European integration at the higher education level, targeting a broad spectrum of groups across different fields.
The goals of this program are:
- Promoting education and research on European integration among specialized educators, learners, and citizens around the world;
- Supporting the activities of associations engaged in the study of European integration;
- Encouraging innovation in teaching and research.
The Jean Monnet program includes the following components:
- Jean Monnet Modules: Short-term education programs (at least 40 teaching hours per academic year) related to EU studies. These modules can focus on a specific area of European studies or be multidisciplinary. The maximum grant for three years is 30,000 euros.
- Jean Monnet Chairs: These involve a minimum of 90 hours of teaching per academic year by university professors. The maximum grant for three years is 50,000 euros.
- Jean Monnet Advanced Research Centers: These centers are set up at one or more universities under the guidance of a Jean Monnet Chair, providing a platform for expertise, knowledge, and resources on EU topics. The maximum grant for three years is 100,000 euros.
