Jean Monnet Chair

In 2017, the Professorship has been awarded the prestigious title "Jean Monnet Chair" by the European Union which comes with a three-year funding by the European Commission for related projects.

In our blog, in further publications, during events and other activities we comprehensively and critically analyze the EU, its shortcomings and challenges – but also its manifold potentials.

Our German-speaking website mainEUropa accompanies the Jean Monnet project “The European Union Beyond the Crises":
