Since 2009 the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence "The EU and its Citizens" links the expertise and research activities on European Integration at the Freie Universität Berlin. Seven scholars from four different disciplines (political science, law, sociology, and communication science) try to explore the relationship between the EU and its citizens as one of the major challenges of European integration. In doing so, the aim is to sustain and further strengthen the outstanding position of the Freie Universität in European Union (EU) studies, but also to disseminate the cumulative knowledge produced by our joint activities to both the academic community, practitioners and the wider public.
