Fall 2020 - JMintheUS
This academic year 2020-2021, the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence at FIU is part of the Jean Monnet in the U.S.A. Series, #JMintheUS which is an initiative of several EU-funded Universities across the United States. The world has shifted to virtual events, making new kinds of collaborations possible. Co-sponsors of the #JMintheUS initiative can better share programming related to the European Union and European Union studies, increasing access to more communities throughout the country. The Miami-Florida Jean Monnet Center of Excellence at FIU, along with other European Union Centers of Excellence from the U.S. will participate and co-sponsor the events.
In Fall semester 2020, we will be able to connect with experts on Europe via virtual roundtable for more than eleven discussions. Here are some of them:
