A new call for proposals for EU-US programme for Co-operation in Higher Education and Vocational Training (ATLANTIS) has been published.
The 2009 ATLANTIS Call for proposals covers the following actions:
TRANSATLANTIC DEGREE CONSORTIA PROJECTS
This Action provides support for consortia of EU and U.S. higher education institutions to implement dual/double or joint degree programmes “Transatlantic Degrees”. Transatlantic degree consortia projects may apply for three types of funding: i) flat rates/fixed amounts to consortia institutions for the administering of the project, ii) transatlantic mobility grants to EU and U.S. students and iii) transatlantic mobility grants to EU and U.S. faculty. The overall amount of funding on the EU side for a 4-year Transatlantic Degree consortia project is maximum EUR 408,000/428.000€, depending on the number of partners.
EXCELLENCE in MOBILITY PROJECTS
This Action provides funding for international curriculum development projects that involve short term transatlantic mobility that is not directly related to awarding 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-U.S. agreements. Support includes mobility stipends for students and faculty and flat rates/fixed amounts for the consortia institutions. The overall amount of funding on the EU side for a 4-year Excellence mobility project cannot exceed a maximum of EUR 180,000
POLICY ORIENTED MEASURES
This Action provides support to multilateral EU-US projects and activities designed to enhance collaboration in the higher education and vocational training field. The EU side of the consortia implementing policy oriented measures may apply for a funding of up to 75% of the project cost incurred by the EU side up to a maximum of EUR 70,000. The duration of projects is two years.
Applications should be sent no later than 23 March 2009.
