At the EUMERGENCIES Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence (JMCE), we believe that understanding the legal and political challenges of a "Europe in crisis" shouldn't be confined to lecture halls. Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic research, policy practitioners, and civil society.
Based in the heart of Brussels, we leverage our unique position to foster a dynamic dialogue on how the EU navigates emergencies.
Empowering Practitioners & Civil Society
We provide professionals and citizens with the tools to decode complex EU responses. Building on the expertise of the Institute for European Studies (IES), we offer:
- High-quality research materials tailored for lifelong learning.
- Expert insights into European civil protection and humanitarian aid.
- Practical toolkits to navigate the evolving EU legal landscape.
Hybrid Accessibility
To ensure global participation, our seminars and workshops are held in a hybrid format, welcoming students and professionals from both EU and non-EU countries.
The EUMERGENCIES Roundtables
Our flagship event series brings together the people shaping EU policy and those impacted by it. Over the next three years, we are hosting 12 Roundtables featuring key voices such as:
EU Institutions, civil Society (representatives from organizations like the Red Cross EU Office), policy Leaders (stakeholders and commissioners dedicated to crisis management and equality)
Culture & Conversation
We believe that complex policy becomes clearer through different lenses. Join our community for:
- Book Clubs & Movie Screenings: Exploring the themes of crisis through literature and film.
- Public Debates: Post-event discussions that turn cultural insights into policy reflections.
