ABOUT US
Jean Monnet Centres of Excellence are focal points of competence and knowledge on European Union subjects. They gather the expertise and competences of high-level experts aiming to develop synergies between the various disciplines and resources in European studies.
They play a key role in reaching out to students from faculties not normally dealing with European Union issues as well as to policy makers, the civil society and the general public at large. They also give experts the opportunity to create joint transnational activities. The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence "New Visions of the European Union" Role in Global Heal; (EU4GH) is conceived as an interdepartmental high-quality research and teaching hub, aiming at placing itself in the national and international panorama as a focal point of expertise and knowledge on EU studies on global health issues. Its focus rests on the external dimension of the European Health Union and the leading role that the EU plays as a key actor in the global health scenario, in accordance with the EU Global Health Strategy and in line with the European Commission's Priority "A stronger Union in the world";.
​
The Centre brings together experts in EU and International Law with a long track record of academic work on EU and global health law, as well as high-level officers from Italian governmental institutions operating in the field of health. It is led by the Department of Legal Sciences of the University of Salerno and supported by the "Observatory on Human Rights: Bioethics, Health, Environment". It avails itself of the advice and contribution offered by foreign internationally recognized experts and closely collaborates with a large network of European, African and American academic associations, university departments and research centres.
EU4GH aims to reach a broad range of beneficiaries through university courses and traineeship, webinars, open access publications and research outputs destined not only to students and academics, but also to lawyers, health professionals, public administrations, policy makers and law makers, civil servants and the civil society.
