Combined evaluation of Erasmus+ and predecessor programmes : final report : Jean Monnet programme evaluation (Volume 3)

The Jean Monnet activities have its origin in 1989 when this programme was founded to support teaching and research about the EU to promote and help the European integration. Nowadays, as stated in the Erasmus + legal basis and programme guide, the aim of the Jean Monnet actions is twofold. First, the Jean Monnet actions aim to promote excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies. Secondly, Jean Monnet actions also aim to foster the dialogue between the academic world and policy-makers. This has changed a little compared to the LLP which stated that the aims of the programme were promoting teaching, research and reflection in the field of European integration studies at the level of higher education institutions. The dialogue dimension under Jean Monnet is new compared to the predecessor programme.
