The Jawaharlal Nehru University in collaboration with the European Union on Friday inaugurated the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence for the conduction of European Union Studies in India (CEEUSI) at JNU. This will help encourage European studies in India and South Asia.
Only two Centers of Excellence have been awarded EU funds in India, the other is Manipal Academy for Higher Education.
JNU vice-chancellor professor M Jagadish Kumar appreciated the inauguration in the university for encouraging exposure for the children.
Ambassador of the European Union to India, Tomasz Kozlowski, said, “We are delighted to support the Centre of Excellence at JNU. EU-India relations are moving to an exciting new phase with the launch of the new EU Strategy for India in November 2018.
“One of the focus areas in the new strategy is on more people-to-people exchanges and cooperation on education and skills. The new Centre of Excellence at JNU will provide additional opportunities to students and researchers to work on EU studies in India,” he added.
