The Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence Asia-Pacific

The Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence Asia-Pacific formalises links between four EU centres within the Asia-Pacific region (China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand) and serves to intensify collaboration through a series of highly targeted activities.

The Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence Asia-Pacific is administered by the National Centre for Research on Europe (NCRE) in New Zealand. The NCRE has extensive multidisciplinary EU expertise and has developed a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The main objectives of the Jean Monnet Centre for Excellence Asia-Pacific are to:

• consolidate expertise and utilise this effectively throughout the region (accomplished through staff mobility, joint graduate supervision, podcasts of seminars, strategic shared use of visiting experts and creating online networking tools). Students and staff will have enhanced access to top EU academics and more opportunities to interact.

• promote knowledge amongst young researchers to ensure the sustainability of EU studies, with the wider impact through graduates using this expertise in their careers within the region.

• provide a platform for promoting excellence in EU teaching and research in the context of the Asia Pacific region. Staff mobility will enable the sharing of best teaching practice, online seminars will enhance discussions on key regional topics, and research collaboration will be developed studying the EU's impact in the Asia-Pacific.
