The CHARM-EU Alliance’s inclusion and diversity work has continued in the current phase (2023-2026) by deepening the central, strategic, and transversal role of inclusion and diversity testing and monitoring, and ensuring its responsible, accountable operation.

CHARM-EU believes that its closer and wider community shall receive guidance in both strategy and service to effectively deliver on its commitment to embracing equality, diversity, inclusion and dismantling conscious and unconscious discrimination. The handbook has been developed to portray and address working methods, responsibilities, and requirements for incorporating diversity and inclusion meaningfully in the strategy and operation across CHARM-EU operation, which is both a plan and a pledge. It is a continuous commitment to assess CHARM-EU’s progress, test new ideas and have difficult conversations about tough issues. It is all about listening and learning as CHARM-EU moves forward.

The CHARM-EU Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Office Team want to highlight that this document was shaped with the Alliance’s specific context, environment, and needs in mind. It is not a one-size-fits-all formula that can be adapted to a different context. Thank you for engaging in this work with us and for your dedication to making the higher education experience a more just, diverse, and inclusive place for all.
