The main objective of the project is to mainstream the importance of solidarity as an ultimate purpose of the functioning of the European Union in terms of solidarity between the Member States and solidarity between the people of the European Union. The complementary objectives of the projects will support achieving the main objective, in particular, partial reform and innovation of the teaching of the EU law at the Faculty of Law of Comenius University Bratislava, popularization activities, demythization of the EU law and spreading the current approaches of EU law education among the secondary school students. The activities of the proposed Jean Monnet Chair “Solidarity as a Value of the European Union” will aim its activities of the three main objectives and activities of Comenius University Bratislava: (1) Education, (2) Research, (3) Tertiary mission – social responsibility.

The proposed Jean Monnet Chair “Solidarity as a Value of the European Union” is directly focused on the values of the European Union, their importance in everyday life. As it was mentioned, the value of rule law is currently the most discussed value, however, the other values seem to be overshadowed by the research in the area of rule of as well as education in that area. On the other hand, solidarity works as a “real” value of EU, the ultimate goal of the integration, as pronounced by Schumann, and comparing to the rule of law, without the precise enforcement mechanism, without common understanding on the precise content.
