About Us

The JMCE was designated in September 2009 by the European Commission to support an ambitious programme of research, teaching and outreach activities. It will be formally launched by a high-profile guest speaker in mid-2010.
 
The centre is a collaborative project between three schools: the School of Law which hosts the Centre of European Law; the School of Arts and Humanities, home of the Department of European and International Studies; and the School of Social Sciences and Public Policy, which hosts the
Department of Political Economy.
 
Professor Sir Francis Jacobs KCMG QC, ad personam Jean Monnet Chair, and President of the Centre of European Law said ‘We are very pleased that we have been awarded this status, especially since competition has been particularly intense. It will act as a real stimulus to cooperation across King’s in teaching and research and enable us to contribute better to informed public debate on the European Union.’
