About the project

​

Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence titled Strategic Observatory for Europe 2030 (SOE2030) will be the focal point for competence and knowledge on development and implementation of European Union long-term strategy till 2030. Capitalising on current Jean Monnet Chair Cultural Political Economy of Europe 2020 (CPE2020, 2016-2019) it will, first, advance research on European Union by setting up scientific infrastructure to collect, analyse and disseminate knowledge on EU strategic processes. Secondly, it will serve as the forum for multi-level debate on EU strategic development between academia, students, professionals, policy-makers, businesses and civil society. These will, finally, be used to upgrade teaching on EU topics on host institution and beyond.

​

The aim is to to encourage synergistic effects and to achieve "more with less" by providing a "clever" combination of research infrastructural development, including development of relevant methodologies, protocols and data collection tools, educational activities at BA, MA and PhD levels of studies, as well as the winter camp workshops and summer schools, and outreach events.

SOE 2030 will gather the expertise and competencies of high-level experts in the field of EU studies. This includes, first, several current and former holders of Jean Monnet Module, Chair or Centre of Excellence, who will join the core team of SOE2030.
