Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence in the UK and Ireland

There are currently fifteen Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence in the UK, and two in Ireland. Click on the map for further information about each centre.

BACKGROUND
The Jean Monnet Project 'European Integration in University Studies' is a European Commission information project, originally undertaken at the request of the universities, whose aim was to facilitate the introduction of European integration studies in universities by means of start-up subsidies.

The term European integration studies has been taken to mean the construction of the European Community and its related institutional, legal, political, economic and social developments.

The Jean Monnet Project targets disciplines in which Community developments are an increasingly important part of the subject studied, i.e.
    > Community Law
    > European Economic Integration
    > European Political Integration
    > History of the European Construction Process

The Jean Monnet Project is aimed at universities and other higher education establishments (whose university level status is recognised by the national authorities) in the member states of the European Union and beyond.
