CHARM-EU is delighted to announce the outcomes of the first CHARM-ED Call, with twelve innovative educational collaboration projects selected for funding across the alliance.
The CHARM-ED Call supports the creation, enhancement, and redesign of higher education and lifelong learning activities across CHARM-EU partner institutions. The selected projects exemplify CHARM-EU’s commitment to educational innovation and collaboration. They were chosen for their clear alignment with CHARM-EU’s educational vision and potential to create meaningful impact at both institutional and alliance levels.
An evaluation committee comprising of CHARM-EU education experts from all partners evaluated the proposals in terms of the CHARM-EU educational principles, alignment with EU goals, and impact.
More than 50 academics and professionals from over 40 disciplines will collaborate across nine universities, advancing CHARM-EU’s shared mission to reimagine higher education through challenge-driven, transdisciplinary, and sustainability-focused learning.
