Erasmus+ - Jean Monnet - Networks

Jean Monnet Networks foster the creation and development of consortia of international players (higher education institutions, Centres of Excellence, departments, teams, individual experts, etc.) in the area of European Union studies.

Jean Monnet Networks have a duration of three years.

They contribute to gathering information, exchanging practices, building knowledge and promoting the European integration process across the world.

This Action can also support the enhancement of existing networks supporting specific activities, notably fostering the participation of young researchers in EU-related themes.

These projects will be based on unilateral proposals, focused on activities that cannot be achieved successfully at a national level and require the involvement of a minimum of three partner institutions (including the applicant institution) from three different countries. Their aim is to undertake projects that have a multinational rather than a national dimension.
