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. The AFSJ Jean Monnet Chair activities are based on a simultaneous learning correlation between face to face and online training by using the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and the participation of renowned professors and several Jean Monnet Chairs. This Chair will directly benefit at least more than 200 professionals (legal studies) and new students, civil society or general public, teachers and researchers related to the Eu Legal studies field and also the Master Degree and Doctoral Programme on “Political Integration and Economic Union in the European Union” (programmes offered by the University of the Basque Country -Campus of International Excellence-). Therefore, the AFSJ Jean Monnet Chair aims to promote excellence in teaching and research EU studies, and, at the same time, innovation in teaching and research.
