Stakeholders
The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence was created in 2003 with the financial support of the European Commission under its Jean Monnet Action and co-funded with the University of Manchester. At the end of a three-year funding period its focus was broadened away from its initial concern with the European Union to European Studies more generally. At the same time the JMCE became more broadly based with partners from the University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Salford. The key stakeholders are:
University of Manchester:
- School of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures (host School)
- School of Social Sciences
- Manchester Business School
- School of Law
- School of Arts, Histories and Cultures
Manchester Metropolitan University:
University of Salford:
The governance of the JMCE is assured by a steering group comprising representatives from all the institutional partners. Several members of the steering group hold chairs which have been co-funded by the Jean Monnet Action.
