The new EU-US Atlantis programme: paving the way for innovative transatlantic university degrees

One year after the signature of the new eight-year EU-US education agreement, the European Commission is launching jointly with the US authorities 14 new transatlantic cooperation projects. The European Commission will invest a total of € 3.8 million in these projects, an amount that will be matched by the US authorities. Their purpose is to foster transatlantic academic cooperation through innovative student exchanges resulting in double degrees, joint curriculum development, and policy studies.
