The European Commission has awarded funding to prof. Federico Fabbrini at Dublin City University to establish a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, called REBUILD (‘Recovery of Europe, Budget of the Union: Integration, Law & Democracy’). The 3-year project is designed to explore the post-pandemic reconstruction of the EU economy, focusing on the “Next Generation EU” Recovery Fund, and examining its governance, financing and values. REBUILD, which is funded under the Erasmus+ programme, is the first project of its kind in Europe — and the first Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence secured by DCU.
Prof Federico Fabbrini said “The award of this grant builds on the research and policy successes of the Brexit Institute and confirms the ever more important role of DCU in EU affairs, as witnessed also by our Master in European Law & Policy DCU, which is the go-to place for education on EU affairs in Ireland.”
