Jean Monnet Programme
Aims
The Jean Monnet Programme is dedicated to European Integration studies.
European Integration studies involve the study of the origins and evolution of the European Communities and the European Union in all its aspects. European integration studies cover the analysis of both the internal and external dimension of European integration, including the European Union's role in the dialogue between peoples and cultures. Comparative studies concerning national practices are not regarded as European integration studies.
History
The Jean Monnet Programme is now present in more than 70 countries throughout the world and more than 800 universities offer Jean Monnet courses as part of their curricula. The Jean Monnet Programme brings together a network of about 1,700 professors, reaching audiences of 265,000 students every year.
Jean Monnet Teaching Modules
Jean Monnet Modules are short teaching programmes (or courses) in the field of European integration studies at higher education institutions. Each Module has a minimum duration of 40 teaching hours. Modules may concentrate on one particular discipline in European integration studies or be multidisciplinary in approach and therefore call upon the services of several teachers. Jean Monnet
Modules must take one of the following forms:
• general or introductory courses on European integration (in particular at institutions and faculties that do not yet have a highly developed course offering in the field);
• highly specialised teaching on European Union developments (in particular at institutions and faculties that do already have a highly developed course offering in the field);
• summer courses
Beneficiaries
The programme beneficiaries include higher education institutions and/or associations of professors and researchers specialising in European integration.
