The Transatlantic Policy Consortium (TPC) consists of 36 North American and European higher education institutions that conduct education, training, and research in the field of public policy and administration. We currently have a network of 108 individuals from these institutions who participate in our activities. The Consortium is dedicated to promoting better understanding between the public policy/administration educators in the EU and the US, and to providing opportunities for the researchers, students and faculty members of the Consortium to interact, study, conduct research, and work together in a variety of ways on the pressing public policy issues facing Europe and North America.
The TPC was formed officially in May of 2000, and is self-financed, with the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs providing the Secretariat for the organization. The Consortium now has an annual colloquium of the consortium membership and guests that focuses on public policy issues of particular concern to the US/EU Transatlantic Agenda. These colloquia alternate on a yearly basis between the US and Europe.

The next colloqium will be held in Washington, D.C, October 29-31. The meeting will be hosted by George Mason University with American University and the University of Southern California being co-hosts. The colloqium web site can be found here.
The TPC received a grant from the Bosch Foundation in 2008 to help involve young faculty members from member institutions in the work of the consortium. The grant will cover the travel expenses of three American and three German faculty members to attend the next Colloquium in Jönköping, Sweden.
The TPC has a logo that can be used by partner institutions. Print quality logos are available. [more]
