The Jean Monnet Actions were launched by the European Commission in 1989 to support teaching and research in the field of the European Union studies and have recently expanded to cover the European dimension of teaching across the educational landscape including schools and VET institutes. 

This event will commemorate 35 years of Jean Monnet Actions (JMA), highlighting their role in strengthening the European dimension of teaching, as well as building academic communities of professors and researchers active in the field of European Union studies. It will provide an opportunity to take stock of and celebrate outstanding achievements of the Jean Monnet Actions and assert the enduring relevance of the initiative to participants and stakeholders. 

The interactive event will give speakers, panellists, moderators and participants the opportunity to network, cooperate, and brainstorm. The conference will provide an opportunity to reactivate the Jean Monnet communities to encourage long term cooperation and exchange on EU-matters among academics from all over the world. An active community can in turn attract young, up-and-coming academics to specialise and thus further strengthen the field of EU studies in the global academic community.

The event will take place in Square Brussels Convention Centre:
