| Description | Jean Monnet Chairs are teaching posts with a specialisation in European integration studies. Jean Monnet Chairholders teach a minimum of 90 hours per academic year in the field of European integration studies. Only one professor may hold the Chair and must provide the minimum teaching hours required. Jean Monnet Chairholders have the rank of professor/senior lecturer and may not be a "visiting professor" at the establishment in question. Full description: Show Hide Jean Monnet Chairs are linked to the higher education institution that concludes the grant agreement. If an original Chairholder leaves the higher education institution, it is obliged to replace him or her by another member of its teaching staff with the same level of specialisation in European integration studies. The replacement of the original Chairholder requires written notification to the Executive Agency, which verifies the academic profile of the nominated Chairholder. Holders of a Jean Monnet Chair can only reapply for a Jean Monnet Chair ad personam and must wait until one academic year has elapsed following the end of the previous contractual period before submitting the new application. |
