The StiMasters program was a Dual M.Sc. in "Sustainability, Technology & Innovation” which received funding of €408K by the European Commission and $408k by the US Department of Education under the EU-Commission’s Atlantis “Transatlantic Degrees” Action 2009.
This innovative 4-semester program focused on Sustainability, Technology, Innovation Masters of Science (STIMS) degrees and led to the award of two Master’s degrees [1 USA and 1 European].
The three partner universities were the TU Dublin, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-Spain, and Purdue University-USA.
24 students went to the USA from European partner universities and Purdue University sent 19 [21% female, 79% male] overseas to the European partner institutions over the four-year life of the project [2010-14]. Over twenty faculty exchanges for various periods of time for purposes of familiarisation, language, instruction, collaboration, and testing of students.
