Brief description:

This Jean Monnet Chair shall contribute to meet the enormous demand for training and skill formation relating the "triangle" composed by the relationship between these three fields: the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), fundamental rights and the need for an effective judicial protection of those rights. The main objective for this Chair is to deepen the study of the "crossing-area" where these three fields meet (the broad field of present and future work regarding the European Union Fundamental Rights).

Therefore, the Chair offers a range of teaching and research activities as well as promotional events aimed at updating the knowledge and skills of those that implement European Law (i.e. judges, prosecutors, lawyers, public administration officers, etc.), and at promoting the training and formation of young and new professionals lecturers and researches, University students and civil society in general.
