Jean Monnet Multilateral Research Groups
Description
- Jean Monnet multilateral research groups must involve a partnership between at least three Jean Monnet Chairs from at least three different higher education institutions in three different countries. Multilateral research groups may involve, as partners, associations that bring together professors and researchers specialising in European integration studies.
- Multilateral research groups must lead to an integrated academic network involving joint research and the organisation of joint seminars, debates and meetings. The activities of the multilateral research groups must lead to the production of a major academic publication by the end of the project. Multilateral research groups may also include activities for the dissemination of results, notably using multimedia and meetings with civil society.
- A Jean Monnet Chair may be coordinator of only one Jean Monnet Multilateral Research Group at a time. A Jean Monnet Chair who is coordinator of a Jean Monnet Multilateral Research Group can reapply for a new Multilateral Research Group but must wait until one academic year has elapsed following the end of the previous contractual period before submitting the new application.
