Jean Monnet Programme is a part of Erasmus+ Programme, designed in order to promote excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies worldwide. Jean Monnet consist of a various activities focused on creating interest in the EU and constituting the basis for future poles of European knowledge, enhancing the understanding of EU functioning methods, as well as on promotion of other relatable EU topics. Some of such activities are Jean Monnet Modules, Chairs, Centres of Excellence, Networks, Projects or Support to Associations.

Modules are short teaching programmes or courses in the field of European Union studies at offered at a higher education institution. Each Module has a minimum duration of 40 teaching hours per academic year for a duration of three years. Modules may concentrate on one particular discipline in European studies or be multidisciplinary in approach and therefore call upon the academic input of several professors and experts. They can also take the form of short specialised or summer programmes.

Chairs are teaching posts with a specialisation in European Union studies (as described above) for university professors for a duration of three years. A Jean Monnet Chair is held by only one professor, who provides the minimum of 90 teaching hours per academic year. The Chair may also have a team to support and enhance the activities of the Chair, including the provision of additional teaching hours.
• Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are focal points of competence and knowledge on European Union subjects. They should  gather the expertise and competences of high-level experts aiming to at develop synergies between the various disciplines and resources in European studies (as described above) as well as at creating joint transnational activities, they also ensure openness to civil society. Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence have a major role in reaching out to students from faculties not normally dealing with European Union issues as well as to policy makers, civil servants, organised civil society and the general public at large.

Jean Monnet Activities, under Erasmus+ programme of the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA), represent the European Union's efforts to preserve Jean Monnet's memory. These activities aim at fostering the dialogue between the academic world and policy-makers, all with the aim to improve understanding modern Europe's place in a globalised world and its importance for regional stability and prosperity.
