Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence Programme 2016-19
We became a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence under the EU’s Erasmus+ Programme in 2016. This was our first of now three three-year work programmes. Like the others, it was organised in thematic strands, enabling projects led by academic colleagues from across UCL.
Students engaging with diverse European London communities through creative, ethnographic and linguistic research. Programme under the UCL Global Citizenship Summer School (Led by Eszter Tarsoly and Jelena Čalić, UCL SSEES)
Exploring practical and emotional experiences of EU migrants and their host societies through a teaching module, open-access book Invisible Poles (2019) and online resource guides (Led by Anne White, UCL SSEES)
Examining individual lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer experiences of migration and refuge in Europe through a conference, workshops and online resource guide (Led by Richard Mole, UCL SSEES)
Challenging discourses of national and parliamentary sovereignty through a conference and two webpages collating research, academic commentary, videos, policy engagement and resources on Brexit (Led by Uta Staiger, UCL European Institute)
