This year's edition of the annual Jean Monnet Conference, which took place on 1 and 2 October 2014, took a fresh look at the programme's core activities: European Union studies. Academics, policy makers and civil society representatives from around the world considered the content of studies in European integration, and the way they are delivered.

The Conference also discussed the way study programmes and their alumni contribute to European policy-making and governance, and to the EU's relations with its partners worldwide.
