We are happy to announce that this year EIU received the EU support for the new Jean Monnet Module “EU, Security and Fundamental Rights” (EUSecJuris). This Module will be implemented at Eurasia International University in the framework of the Double Degree Master Program in Human Rights and Security (run jointly with Tuscia University, Italy).

This Module aims to explain the EU as a global and regional security actor. For this purpose, the Module introduces the mini-program “EU, Security and Human Rights” consisting of introductory and advanced courses taught by the multidisciplinary team of lecturers and guest speakers.

The Module further seeks to internationalize students’ experience and introduce the “learning-by-doing” teaching approach. This will be achieved by organizing the International Student Security Forum and two simulations of the decision-making in EU institutions focused on contemporary security issues and challenges (jointly with Tuscia University).

Furthermore, as an innovation, students are expected to produce short videos explaining the EU and its role in addressing the main security challenges (globally and regionally, with the specific focus on the EU’s role in conflict resolution in the South Caucasus). Targeting the general public, these video materials will raise awareness about the EU and serve as a public diplomacy initiative. The public awareness will also be raised through the open public lecture series.

The Module fosters research on the role of the EU as a global actor in the EaP region. One joint publication will be co-authored by the Module’s team and published in a peer-review journal.

The Module includes the following master-level courses:

Introduction to EU Law: principles, institutions and decision-making procedures
Introduction to EU External Relation Law
EU Fundamental Values: Theoretical and Practical Aspects
Human Rights, Security and the Principle of Proportionality
EU as a Security Actor: Enlargement and ENP Contexts
Global Security, Conflict Resolution and Peace-Building: the Role of the EU
