The discussions from the last CHARM-EU Annual Conference perfectly highlighted the fact the governance is one of the biggest challenges that European Universities have to face in their building process. This broad and thorny topic raises a lot of questions: How to bring multiple legal entities together to create a brand new one? How can this new legal entity support the task of European Universities alliances? What governance models, services, units and structures are necessary for achieving or common goals?

Building upon the experience of European Universities

While European Universities alliances were separately facing these challenges, it is now time to come together to address them. This forum will highlight the governance model developed by CHARM-EU with innovation, sustainability and inclusion at its core. Other European Universities alliances will share their own experiences, allowing to put in perspective the differences between the models developed and to highlight the best practices allowing to address these questions.

Joining forces to create the governance model of the future

The CHARM-EU Governance Forum will tackle all of the questions faced and contribute to identify the best solutions and strategies for the future governance of European Universities alliances. A wide range of stakeholders will enroll in the discussions and join forces to address this common challenge of building the governance model of the university of the future. As always, we will act together towards a more sustainable future!

Find out about the programme

The programme of the Forum will include many activities divided in two days:

• The first day will be more operational, with workshops focusing on different aspects of the governance of European Universities and aiming at identifying solutions and making recommendations
• A second day with a more political angle, in the form of a symposium with keynotes, roundtables and more, aiming at building a global and common vision of the future governance of European Universities.
