The Jean Monnet Project "European Integration in University Studies" is a European Commission information project, undertaken at the request of the universities, whose aim is to facilitate the introduction of European integration studies in universities by means of start-up subsidies. The term European integration studies is taken to mean the construction of the European Community and its related institutional, legal, political, economic and social developments.

The Jean Monnet Project targets disciplines in which Community developments are an increasingly important part of the subject studied, ie. Community Law, European Economic Integration, European Political Integration, History of the European Construction Process.

The Jean Monnet Project is aimed at universities and other higher education establishments (whose university level status is recognized by the national authorities) in the member states of the European Union.

In 2002, the course of European Law and European Institutions was established in the Public Administration Department of Babes Bolyai University with the support of European Commission?s Jean Monnet Project.
