The Jean Monnet Chair sponsors three research seminars.

The "Jean Monnet Research Seminar" aims at exploring issues related to European integration and culture, both in intra-European terms and the wider world

The "Seminar in medieval Hispanic Studies" aims at giving ongoing support to the approach developed by the late Professor Alan Deyermond, namely, Hispanomedievalism as an integrative comparative approach to literatures in the Iberian peninsula.

And the "Enrique Moreno Báez Teaching Seminar" aims at discussing alternative approaches and developing new tools for the teaching of European literature.
