Registration is now open to the 2022 CHARM-EU Annual Conference
Context and objectives
Since the kick-off of the European Universities Initiative and the selection of CHARM-EU in the first call in 2019, the Alliance having ELTE as a founding member has been successfully progressing in several fields. Achievements CHARM-EU is proud of include the development of its core values, educational principles and an innovative teaching and learning model resulting in the first accredited joint European Master’s Degree (Global Challenges for Sustainability) as well as the launch of its research and innovation dimension through TORCH.
The Annual CHARM-EU Conference will provide an opportunity to highlight and reflect on these achievements as well as those of the European Universities Initiative while mapping out the future and designing the next steps towards a strong European Education Area based in a collaborative, inclusive and multi-level long-term strategy. The event will bring together representatives of European University Alliances, students, staff and academics, policymakers as well as external stakeholders to identifying the multi-level effects of the European Universities initiative and to discuss the possibilities and the actions to be taken during the next years of cooperation.
The Agenda of the Conference
Alongside the achievements and lessons learned in CHARM-EU, the panel sessions will focus on areas such as the construction of the European Education Area, the shaping of the future of European Higher Education through the best practices identified in European Universities as well as their contribution to the digital and green transitions by promoting the EU’s Digital Education Action Plan and the New European Bauhaus Initiative.
The thematic break-out sessions will provide an opportunity to reflect on the approaches to European University Education (utilizing CHARM-EU as a case study) and the governance and management structures of EUI Alliances. The will also offer the possibility to consider the creation of an inter-institutional, intercultural, transdisciplinary and inclusive campus with mobility as a core element, as well as the possibilities of internal transformation and the future of the research and innovation dimension of European University Alliances.
