Jean Monnet Modules
Description
- 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 per academic year. 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.
Priority goes to projects
- involving the creation of new teaching activities (i.e. the development of new courses and/or new programmes of study);
- involving a renewal of the Jean Monnet teaching staff;
- submitted by higher education institutions in non-EU countries and, in particular, in countries not yet covered by Jean Monnet projects;
- open to students from other higher education institutions (e.g. in the same city or region) and to students who do not automatically come into contact with European integration studies (in such fields as science, engineering, medicine, education, arts and languages, etc.);
- contributing to lifelong learning (including adult education) and open to participation by civil society groups (such as primary and secondary school teachers, journalists, members of professional organisations, etc.).
