Jean Monnet Chairs

Jean Monnet (1888-1979) was one of the founding fathers of the European Union, together with Konrad Adenauer, and he was the first "Honorary Citizen of Europe" (1976). The European Union maintains Monnet's memory with the Jean Monnet Activities, under the Erasmus+ programme of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA). These activities promote knowledge on European integration and European studies on a worldwide scale, especially at the university level, through the Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence, the Jean Monnet Chairs, and support to Associations.
Jean Monnet Chairs aim to build bridges between academics, researchers and EU policymakers, with an emphasis on the study of and research on EU integration and in understanding Europe's place in a globalized world. Jean Monnet Chairs in general are organized and applied for by universities.
Jean Monnet Chairs are teaching posts with a specialization in European Union studies for university professors.
