About CHARM-EU

CHARM-EU (Challenge-driven, Accessible, Research-based, Mobile European University) is coordinated by the University of Barcelona, and includes Trinity College Dublin, Utrecht University, University of Eötvös Loránd Budapest, and the University of Montpellier as members. The diversity of educational systems but also differing geographical, regional, cultural, lingual, economic and historical perspectives/challenges of the five CHARM-EU members contribute to consolidate the university of the future revealing our common goals on the path towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.

A challenge driven university aims to adopt a new approach to higher education mechanisms taking into consideration societal and global issues. The CHARM-EU (CHallenge-driven, Accessible, Research-based, Mobile European University) alliance emerges as the start of it, attempting to give an initial and effective accomplishment to this process.  Creating a new model of university, it is not about change or improve one or other element, but rather to build a new holistic approach that envisages critical thinking and applied knowledge, having the ability to solve political and societal issues in the international context (in particular in conjunction with the European Values,  the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals). These global challenges require common reflection and coordinated actions from the higher education institutions.  This in itself is a competence that CHARM-EU endeavors to achieve.

CHARM-EU will deliver an innovative, challenge-driven, student-centred, and self-directed teaching model that integrates research, teaching, innovation and enquire within and across the disciplines open to the world. This model envisages a European higher education campus utilizing the lasts modern technology in the service of accessibility and internationalisation.
