Thus, the project aims not only to create research partnerships but also equip participating researchers with an unprecedented comparative perspective on EU affairs since it will combine outlooks from a founding EU-member state, Germany, a candidate country, Turkey and beyond the Atlantic, the USA.

The project offers mobility of 14 researchers from ERA to USA and 12 researchers from USA to ERA in 3 years time. It offers mobility of 26 researchers in total and the total period of secondments are 88 months designed in groups of 1, 3 and 6 months.
