The Jean Monnet Chair was created due to the financial support of the European Commission [No 565045-EPP-1-2015-1-CZ-EPPJMO-CHAIR]. It is instituted at the Department of International and European Law, Faculty of Law, Palacky University in Olomouc. This incorporation enables a close cooperation with other academics dealing with European and international law.

The mission of the Jean Monnet Chair "The EU Economic Integration in Global Perspective" is to enhance tuition and research on EU economic integration, its social and fundamental rights dimension with emphasis on global context. This mission is based on the current changes of economic and social factors both in the EU and globally. The changes strongly influence existing national and EU rules and create tensions in European society. The Chair in its activities focuses on most actual issues of EU integration stemming from current developments in EU, such as current challenges to intra-Union migration, social legislation and growing call for new regulation of EU free movement rules. It reflects changes caused by continuous integration of world economies and collateral problems (WTO rules and EU disputes, new EU regulation of foreign investments, EU economic sanctions and their effects on EU economy) and by immigration (immigration based on EU external treaties, EU asylum system, illegal immigration).

The Chair is mainly a project focusing on the reform of EU law tuition at the Faculty of Law. Thus it gradually focuses on:

• innovation of the current EU focused tuition, such as courses on EU Internal market, EU Competition law, EU External Relations
• new tuition, namely courses on EU Public Procurement Law, EU Migration law and EU Social Law. These courses have been introduced in the regular tuition of various master programmes at the Law Faculty. Enhanced formation of Ph.D. students. A regular term workshop is run, including invited external experts
• a special training students for EU moot court competitions
• introduction of debating activities with experts from legal practice and academia on actual issues of EU integration
• creation of new or revised study materials in selected courses, including English courses.

An important part of Chair's activities is the increase of internationalisation of the tuition. In that regard selected subjects and outcomes are taught in English.
