The Jean Monnet Summer School is organised with the support of the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) of the European Union. It offers an intensive, interactive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the complex issues of security and justice in Europe, including amongst others the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) (formerly ‘Justice and Home Affairs’) and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), as well as the impact of these policies on fundamental rights and liberties. It examines the latest empirical developments and theoretical approaches, in addition to featuring research methods and general doctoral training sessions. In addition, all participants will present their research project and will receive constructive feedback on it. They will also be encouraged to contribute to the two main publications related to the Summer School on the basis of their research project. The Summer School is intended for students of any discipline writing or planning to write a PhD thesis on any topic related to justice and security in Europe, including amongst others any aspect of the European Union’s Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). It is organised by Dr Sarah Léonard and Prof. Christian Kaunert.
