December 2025

This roadmap aims to translate the strategic orientations defined in the CHARM-EU External Relations Strategy (D13.2, approved December 2024) into a concrete and operational framework for the integration of international strategic academic partners.

While D13.2 sets out the long-term vision, priorities and guiding principles of CHARM-EU’s international engagement, Deliverable 14.1 focuses on their practical implementation. It clarifies how strategic priorities are applied in practice through defined geographical focuses, selection criteria, governance mechanisms and a structured methodological approach.

The roadmap should be understood as a living and progressive document. It does not introduce a new international strategy, nor does it aim to predefine all future cooperation activities. Instead, it provides a coherent framework to ensure transparency, consistency and alignment between the analytical work carried out in WP13 and the operational actions implemented under WP14.
