TunisiaEU Commission celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Jean Monnet Activities promoting European studies worldwide
Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, Tibor Navracsics, hosted a high-level event to celebrate 30 years of excellence in teaching and research about the EU. The Jean Monnet Activities are part of the Erasmus+ programme. They are dedicated to promoting excellence in European studies at higher education level around the world, as well as connecting academics, researchers and policy-makers. Between 1989 and 2019, the Jean Monnet Activities have supported more than 1,000 universities in around 100 countries, enabling them to offer courses on European studies as part of their curricula. 300,000 students now benefit each year.
Every year, the Jean Monnet Activities finance more than 250 new measures, which involve around 9,000 university teachers and many other people and institutions. More than 5,000 actions have been supported so far.
Jean Monnet Activities have become truly global: in 2018, 60% of the 1,300 grant applications came from countries outside the European Union.
The European Commission’s proposal for the future Erasmus Programme (2021-2027) envisages extending Jean Monnet Activities to other sectors of education, notably to schools, to enhance young people’s awareness of the European Union.
