The European Union “Jean Monnet” Chair  is offering an innovative program combining an internship training and individualized research supervision. Available to all undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Miami, it is sponsored by a grant awarded by the European Union. A certificate of expertise will be issued. This experience is highly valued when applying for internships at the EU sites or other private and government employment.

Students will be able to choose among a variety of topics for research, following some of the current issues facing the EU, the US and Latin America: The Euro crisis, immigration, regional integration, the planned Trade and Investment agreement between the US and the EU, the “Atlantic Community”, challenges of terrorism and nationalism, etc.
