European Union - United States Atlantis Program
IMPACT has been made possible only due to an EU-US Atlantis Program grant. The Atlantis Program is a key element of EU-US student mobility, and IMPACT partner institutions and project coordinators are truly grateful for the excellent opportunity they have provided to further internationalize our institutions. Below you can find a short description of the Atlantis Program, and links to the program web pages.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The program, jointly administered and funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) and the European Commission's Directorate General for Education and Culture, provides grants for four to five years to add a European Community-United States dimension to international curriculum development and related student exchange.
TYPES OF PROJECTS
The program supports projects that develop organizational frameworks for transatlantic student mobility, including work placements and internships that will provide adequate language preparation and full academic credit.
