Commendations for CEFEUS
We have received a number of commendations and testimonials from partners and members of the wider academic community.
‘The Jean Monnet Award for a Centre for European Studies is one of many signs that CCCU has established itself firmly in the study of European Politics. With Amelia Hadfield, CCCU has gained an internationally renowned expert, whose hard work and dedication has brought the CCCU's research and teaching expertise in European Politics to a new level of excellence. I am very happy for Amelia and applaud her for winning this much deserved award. I very much look forward to a fruitful cooperation with CCCU's Centre for European Studies. Congratulations, well done!’
‘Congratulations to Canterbury Christ Church University on being named as a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. This is a stellar recognition of the considerable work carried out to date by the university’s researchers and teachers and represents a commitment to future research excellence in the wide range of issues affecting the EU. I applaud the leadership required to put the Centre in place and look forward to future collaborations.’
‘Amelia Hadfield has established herself as Britain’s leading expert on the external dimension of European Union energy policy and the EU’s neighbourhood policy. Funding from the Jean Monnet programme will help to transform the University of Christ Church Canterbury into one of Britain’s leading venues for teaching, research and academic and public discussion on EU foreign affairs more generally.’
‘Canterbury Christ Church University has done it again, winning their fourth Jean Monnet award to create a spanking-new Centre for European Studies. I have been lecturing and running simulations about the EU at Christ Church as part of their previous Jean Monnet funding, and can tell you that their approach is really cutting-edge. Don’t hang about: sign up for Politics & International Relations courses at CCCU, and get a fuller understanding of Britain’s role in Europe in the run up to the British-EU referendum.’
‘Absolutely delighted for you – more than well deserved!’
