As autumn settles in, join us for the next edition of CHARM ON, our monthly online series exploring CHARM-EU’s innovative practices and real-world experiences.
Each session features a panel discussion with invited guests from across the university community, providing testimonials of concrete examples. The panels will include educators, researchers, students, and support staff. Together they will bring real-world perspectives on applying CHARM-EU’s approaches such as challenge-based learning, mobility, and interculturality. Discussions of the series may motivate participants to dive deeper into CHARM-EU good practices in our Service Portfolio, and to participate in trainings offered by the Alliance.
This second session focuses on one of CHARM-EU’s central achievements: international joint programmes. The beating heart of CHARM-EU’s mission, these transnational degrees integrate diverse academic traditions, governance models, and cultures into a single shared learning experience. Our panellists from across the Alliance – including Laia Alonso, Meritxell Chaves, Viktor G. Mihucz and Gilles Subra – will explicate the practical realities of building and sustaining these programmes — from accreditation and curriculum design to student mobility, digital infrastructure, and intercultural teamwork. The event will be facilitated by Nicolas De Keyser and Alexander Arenas Canon.
Date: Monday, 27 October
Time: 13:00–14:00 CET
Format: Online panel discussion (live stream + soundrecording available afterwards)

CHARM ON will take place on the last Monday of each month at 13:00 CET, offering a regular space to share ideas, practices, and impact stories across the CHARM-EU community.

She has more than thirty years of experience in the higher education sector in different functional areas such as academic management, strategic planning, quality and accreditation, and international relations in different organisational cultures.
