Prof Neeta Inamdar, who holds a Jean Monnet Chair has been a driving force of Manipal Centre for European Studies
(MCES) through the decade. She has led it since its inception in 2009 and has the credit of building it to what is
today - a Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence. Though interested in various aspects of European economy, society and
culture, she is more drawn towards education in Europe – both school and higher education as reflected in the
projects led by her in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) and Internationalization and Bologna
Process. With a hands-on experience in building international collaborations, she presently guides PhD students
in the field of international education and acts as a consultant to a few other universities in their internationalization efforts.
She has co-edited three books;
Reimagining Border in Cross-border Education (2022),
Contours of India-EU Engagements: Multiplicity of Experiences (2021),
and
Internationalization of Higher Education: The Dynamics of Educational Ecology (2019).
MCES, Manipal, which was funded by the Delegation of EU to India in 2009, now stands as a major hub for the
European Studies in India. MCES is the only Centre in India that offers a Master program in
European Studies. The Centre effectively coordinates with other European study centres in
India and has meaningful interaction with a number of European universities in terms of
faculty and student mobility and collaborative research.
