European Union awards UniSA prestigious Centre of Excellence
The prestigious Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence from the European Union’s Erasmus+ program aims to build closer ties between Europe and Australia.
University of South Australia was awarded the prestigious Centre of Excellence. Part of the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program, Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence funding is awarded to organisations and institutions that offer unique expertise on the EU. It brings together leading experts to bridge the gap between the various disciplines and resources in European studies and to form links with academic institutions in other countries.
This funding will support activity – including research, outreach, and public diplomacy initiatives – that will investigate, report on and influence developments surrounding the digital revolution and digital policy between the EU and Australia.
Prof Elliott, who is also UniSA Dean of External Engagement says:
“This is an exciting achievement and an honour for our young centre. It demonstrates our team’s internationally recognised excellence in digitalisation and its focus on Australia-EU relations. This is a major leap for deepening our track record of European funding.”
