L’Association Jean Monnet, anciennement «Association des amis de Jean Monnet» a été créée en 1986 par d’anciens collaborateurs de Jean Monnet. En 2016, la famille de Jean Monnet s’est désolidarisée de l’Association Jean Monnet, et en 2018, la Commission européenne a retiré son soutiens financiers à l’association. L’Association Jean Monnet n’exerçant plus d’activité régulière, l’Institut Jean Monnet, créé avec le concours de la famille de Jean Monnet en 2021, assure la diffusion de l’œuvre et de la pensée de Jean Monnet, en collaboration avec la Fondation Jean Monnet de Lausanne, dépositaires des archives publiques de Jean Monnet.

Europeana gives access to millions of cultural heritage items from institutions across Europe.

The Foundation is an independent, non-partisan and non-militant institution of public utility. It was created in 1978 by Jean Monnet, designer and first president of the first European Community (coal-steel) and first honorary citizen of Europe, who entrusted it with his entire archive. Today, it holds many other private archives which it promotes.

The Jean Monnet Institute was created in 2021 with the support of Jean Monnet’s family by several personalities committed to the European unification project. Its aim is to spread knowledge and understanding of the vision, work and method of Jean Monnet and to ensure that his experience inspires and guides younger generations in their European commitment and decision-makers in the identification of solutions to the major challenges of European construction.
