Jean Monnet EU Law and Taxation

Description

The project began in 2011, when Dr F. Alfredo García Prats, Full University Professor of the Department of Financial and Tax Law at the Universitat de València, was awarded the Jean Monnet Chair for EU Law and Taxation by the European Commission. This was the first chair with a specific focus on taxation to be awarded to a Spanish university.

Over the three-year tenure of the Chair (2011–2014), a number of activities were conducted to engage with diverse audiences. These included the delivery of specific modules within the Master’s Degree in Taxation on Professional Law in the European Union and the Professional Specialisation course on International Taxation and Tax Law in the European Union. Furthermore, discussion forums were held, including the International Congress on Information Exchange, Tax Crime and Money Laundering, and the Jean Monnet seminars for doctoral students in this field. Overall, a range of activities were conducted with the objective of studying and learning about the implications of EU tax law.
