Within the new Erasmus+ Programme, the Jean Monnet Actions aim at promoting excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies worldwide.

These Actions also aim at fostering the dialogue between the academic world and policy-makers, in particular with the aim of enhancing governance of EU policies.

Key activities include courses, research, conferences, and publications in the field of EU studies.

European Union studies comprise the study of Europe in its entirety with particular emphasis on the European integration process in both its internal and external aspects. The discipline also covers the role of the EU in a globalised world and in promoting an active European citizenship and dialogue between people and cultures.

Jean Monnet Chairs, Centres of Excellence, Modules, Policy Debate with Academic World and Support to Academic Institutions or Associated Activities form part of the General Call for proposals and are described in detail in the Programme Guide.

The EACEA manages also six designated beneficiaries pursuing an aim of general Union interest:

• the Academy of European Law
• the College of Europe
• the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education
• the Centre International de Formation Européenne
• the European Institute of Public Administration and
• the European University Institute.
