Welcome to the JMECE LAB

JMECE LAB is a platform designed to create a research network among students, European youth movements and others sharing an interest in the future of Europe. See us on:

on The Jean Monnet European Centre of Excellence (http://www.leeds.ac.uk/jmce) at the University of Leeds Institute of Communications Studies site (http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/index.cfm) with the following objectives:

NETWORK:

Objective 1: To encourage postgraduates and academics from different European countries as well as from different parts of UK to work together in the field of European integration.

Objective 2: To bring together postgraduate students at the University of Leeds concerned with European Union issues.

RESEARCH:

Objective 3: To provide a platform for collaboration and exchange of ideas between young researchers with an interest in the European Union, helping them to overcome the isolation and solitude of research.

ACTIVITIES:

Objective 4: to invite partners to play a full part in our work , including our website, meetings, workshops, speeches, events etc.

Objective 5: to provide up-to-date profiles of the people currently involved in this forum and build a research network to inform our work. We draw inspiration in wanting to share our research resources, questions and thoughts, from Jean Monnet’s legendary phrase: “we do not unify countries, we unify people”.
