Centres and Chairs
BackIE University has been selected by the European Commission to launch a Center for European Studies (CEE/IE) . This center completes the recognition of IE University as a distinguished institution in the generation of knowledge of European Integration in Spain, after having offered various Jean Monnet European Modules and having created a Jean Monnet Chair. The aim of the Center for European Studies is to become a reference in studies in and teaching of the European Integration thanks to the professors of recognized prestige forming part of it.
The Center of European Studies will conduct three types of main activities:
- Conferences and public debates
- Research
- Teaching
Conferences and public debates
The center intends to organize multi-disciplinary academic conferences and seminars aimed at academics and experts on European studies as well as public debates open to the civil society through its alumni network.
The CEE will officially launch its activities in December 2009 and, on that occasion, it will organize its first international conference on “The new European Union after the Treaty of Lisbon”, a few weeks before the beginning of the Spanish Presidency of the European Union.
Research
The center aims to become a platform for promoting European research thanks to the high level of the faculty of IE University in different areas of European Integration. The center will promote research as well as divulgation of the research papers of its members. In particular, it will have a series of Working Papers which will include studies on European Integration from the perspectives of different fields. This Working Paper Series will, in turn, incorporate the series of Working Papers sponsored by the Jean Monnet Chair of the Instituto de Empresa.
Teaching
The center will promote “European modules” as compulsory or optional courses in each Master as well as Bachelor degree program of IE University. In addition, the center intends also to offer “European programs” for foreign students as well as summer school courses in Madrid and Segovia.
All these activities will also require the creation of a “European corner” in the university libraries of the IE, both on the Madrid campus and the Segovia campus. This will enable the access to bibliographical and electronic resources on European Integration (European Union law, European economics, external relations of the European Union…).
The director of the center is Professor Marie-José Garot, the coordinator is Isabel Garcés and its president is the holder of the Jean Monnet-IE Chair, José M. de Areilza. This management team will be advised by an Advisory Council composed of prestigious experts on European Union Affairs, under the presidency of Rafael Puyol, President of the Board of Directors of IE University and Vice-President of Institutional Relations of Instituto de Empresa.
