The main focus of Atlantis is on supporting innovative projects for cooperation in the higher education field, including vocational training, which are designed to develop and implement double or joint “transatlantic degrees” for students in the EU and U.S. It may also support projects to promote other forms of EU-U.S. cooperation in higher education and vocational training, including mobility projects and policy-oriented measures. There are three main “actions” under Atlantis:
ACTION 1 – Transatlantic Degree Consortia Projects
This Action provides support for consortia of EU and U.S. higher education institutions (hereafter called “consortium”) to implement dual/double or joint degree programmes referred to in the present document as “Transatlantic Degrees". Support includes grants for students and members of the academic and administrative staff (“faculty”).
ACTION 2 - Excellence in Mobility Projects
This Action provides funding for international curriculum development projects that involve short-term transatlantic mobility. Consortia applying for such a project are expected to have a solid experience in transatlantic cooperation and exchanges. Proposals that have a defined and designated curricular focus are especially encouraged. Support includes mobility grants for students and members of the academic and administrative staff (“faculty”).
ACTION 3 - Policy-oriented Measures
This Action provides support to multilateral EU-U.S. projects and activities designed to enhance collaboration in the higher education and vocational training field.
