CHARM-EU joins the Rhythm of Revolution at EAIE 2026

02 September 2026

CHARM-EU will be present at booth F67 of the 36th Annual Conference and Exhibition of the European Association for International Education (EAIE), taking place in Glasgow, Scotland, from 8 to 11 September 2026, together with other 35 alliances.

Together with the other 35 alliances, we represent more than 300 higher education institutions across Europe and reflect the continued growth and impact of the European Universities Initiative, the European Commission’s flagship programme launched in 2019. The initiative now brings together 65 European Universities alliances and 8 Seal of Excellence alliances, advancing deeper transnational cooperation in higher education, research and innovation.

The 2026 conference theme, The Rhythm of Revolution, invites participants to question, collaborate and create lasting change. This vision strongly resonates with the mission of the European Universities alliances, which continue to pioneer innovative models of transnational education and institutional cooperation.

As in previous editions, the alliances will showcase their impactful initiatives and experiences through more than 40 sessions and networking events. Their engagement demonstrates a shared commitment to strengthening the European Higher Education Area through innovation, inclusion, mobility and strategic international partnerships.

CHARM-EU poster at the EAIE 2026: “From weakness to strategic strength: A case study on credit recognition tools at Eötvös Loránd University.”

On 10 September 2026, from 14:30 to 16:00, join Katalin Anna Németh (Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary) and Sara Joas (Åbo Akademi, Finland) at Poster Area 02 (Argyll Foyer, Ground Floor, Crowne Plaza Hotel) for their conversational poster session.

Focusing on student exchange, study abroad, and research on internationalisation, this poster explores how Eötvös Loránd University doubled both its mobile student count and recognized credits per activity over the past five years by leveraging equivalence tables and integrating mobility windows into study programmes. Grounded in a comprehensive 2025–2026 evaluation, the presentation highlights key takeaways and practical applications for European university alliances.

FOREU4ALL Sessions at the European Commission stand: European Universities Alliances as role models

FOREU4ALL will once again contribute to amplifying the collective voice of the European Universities alliances by engaging with higher education institutions beyond the alliances and supporting Member States in their efforts to modernise their national higher education systems.

As part of the programme, FOREU4ALL, together with its ‘sister projects’ Future4Alliances and SPREAD EUI, and the European Commission, will host two special joint sessions at the European Commission’s stand.

These dedicated sessions will examine how higher education institutions outside these alliances can draw on their experiences, practices, and innovations. They will also explore how higher education systems beyond Europe can adapt and implement elements of the initiative within their own policy and institutional contexts.
