Studies in Trans-Atlantic International Relations (STAIR) features a transatlantic dual degree for participating students in the field of International Relations. Students spend one or two semesters at each of the other two partner institutions.

The faculty mobility scheme for STAIR brings International Relations faculty from each partner institution to teach for short-term stints at each of the other two partner universities, including team-teaching projects. The first faculty from each institution spent one to two weeks at the partner universities in March and April 2009.

Finally, all students in International Relations at each university are benefiting from increased collaboration between the faculty in each International Relations program, with cooperation across curricula and individual International Relations courses.
