Call for proposals for the ATLANTIS programme
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for the ATLANTIS (Actions for transatlantic links and academic networks in training and integrated studies) programme. The general objective of the call for proposals is to promote better understanding and interaction between the peoples of the EU Member States and of the US, including a broader knowledge of their languages, cultures and institutions, and to improve the quality of higher education and vocational education and training in the EU and the US. There are three types of actions under this call: - Transatlantic Degree Consortia Projects: provides support for consortia of EU and US higher education institutions to implement dual/double or joint degree programmes. Support may include mobility grants for students and faculty; - Excellence Mobility Projects: provides funding for international curriculum development projects that involve short term transatlantic mobility not directly related to award of a joint or dual/double degree. Consortia applying for such a project must be able to demonstrate a proven track record in transatlantic cooperation and exchanges including those funded under preceding EU-US agreements. Support includes mobility stipends for students and faculty; - Policy-oriented Measures: provides support to multilateral EU-US projects and activities designed to enhance collaboration in the higher education and vocational training field.The full text of the call for proposals and the application forms are available on the following websites: http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/programmes/eu-usa/call_en.html(opens in new window) http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/programmes/calls/callg_en.html(opens in new window) For more information: E-mail: EACEA-EU-US@ec.europa.eu
