JMC at OVGU – Researching and Teaching Europe's Policy Challenges
The Jean Monnet Chair in Democratic and Effective Governance (DEG) at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg focuses on how the EU can deliver policies effectively in times of growing contestation and transformation.
Led by Prof. Dr. Eva G. Heidbreder, the Chair promotes innovative teaching, supports early career researchers, and fosters dialogue between academia, public administration, and civil society—regionally and across Europe.
The project is funded by the European Union under ERASMUS+ from 2025 to 2028.
