The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence (2022-2025) at Université Saint-Louis – Bruxelles is an interdisciplinary platform that brings together experts in European Union politics and law. It is part of the European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme which aims to foster excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies, as well as dialogue between universities, civil society and policy makers.
The objective of the Centre of Excellence is to unpack the EU’s “un-muting power” (EUNMUTE). We will explore the capacity of the European Union to give voice and/or make heard those who are usually insufficiently heard or voiceless while facing the most important challenges of our time.
