Impact of the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet chair in EU procedural law project on students from faculties other than the faculty of law

The Erasmus+ Programme derives from Council Conclusions of 12 May 2009 on a strategic framework for European cooperation in education and training (‘ET 2020’) as based on Articles 165 and 166 TFEU. In the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, the Chair of European Law at the Faculty of Law in Osijek was granted the project “Jean Monnet Chair in EU Procedural Law”. The project started in the academic year 2014/2015 and is currently in its last year of implementation. The general objective of the project is to improve education regarding European integration issues and contribute to a greater visibility of EU studies at the national and international level. Among other target groups, the project is of relevance to students who are not exposed to European law studies, for whom a specific activity was conceived: a seminar on the protection of the rights of individuals in EU law. The seminar set specific objectives: to provide participants with the opportunity to hear about and discuss basic topics of EU law as well as understand the importance of having a basic knowledge of EU law ; to give an overview of a number of EU legal documents ; to equip participants with knowledge of the rights of individuals within EU law and encourage participants to disseminate their knowledge to their colleagues. The main aim of this paper is to answer whether the specific objectives of the seminar on the protection of the rights of individuals in EU law have been achieved and how (and if) it contributes to the general objectives of the project. The research question arising from the set objectives: Has seminar participation increased participants’ awareness of their rights deriving from EU law? To answer the research question, a survey was conducted on the participants of the five seminars held from the beginning of the project.
