Monnet professors

The EU pays for hundreds of, so-called, Monnet professors to teach about European integration at European universities and high schools.

They have an important influence on the ideas of social science academics, increasing support for EU integration.

Notes

• Named after the EU's father-figure, Jean Monnet.
• In 2009 there are 1500 Monnet professorships, 798 of which were Jean Monnet Chairs.
