Jean Monnet Chair: Explaining and understanding the EU and counter-terrorism in Ireland and globally (EUCTIRL)

EUCTIRL provides research-led excellence in teaching and learning at the intersection of two fundamental areas of EU policy – the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (formerly known as Justice and Home Affairs) and EU counter-terrorism policy and law (also within the CFSP, notably in relation to counter-terrorist financing). The objective is pursued by advancing cutting-edge learning formats, strong inter-disciplinarity, policy relevance by creating three courses (including distance and blended learning) and contributing to the creation of a Jean Monnet Chair in Terrorism and Security in the EU – the first such hub in Ireland, and one of the very few in Europe as a whole.
