“CHARM-EU enables students to pursue a highly personalised and ambitious learning journey. A key innovation of the programme is the integration of traineeship mobility to extra-academic partners, providing students with invaluable international professional experiences that enhance the overall value of their education”
“The challenge-based educational approach is the engine powering CHARM European University”.
“CHARM-EU programme has boosted my employability and prepared me to work in interdisciplinary environments”
“CHARM-EU contributes to a new generation of professionals that are deeply committed to address societal challenges through collaborative teams, and who stand firmly on sustainability to make this world a better place”.
The Education for Sustainable Development workshop deepened my understanding of sustainable development. Before the session, I mainly associated sustainability with environmental protection, climate responsibility, social justice, and economic balance. Through the workshop, I learned that sustainability is also shaped by people’s worldviews, values, assumptions, power relations, institutional roles, and ethical responsibilities. It is not only about technical solutions, but also about asking difficult questions: Who benefits? Who suffers? Who decides? Whose voices are missing? Overall, the workshop changed how I understand education for sustainable development and strengthened my learning as a Master’s in Research and Innovation in Higher Education student.
“Our mission is to contribute to shape a more competitive Europe through Higher Education.“
“With the CHARM-EU master’s programme, students can experience the kind of work they might actually do in the future, for example, in the public or food sector. It’s a great way to put academic knowledge into real-life practice.”
