How to balance sustainability and internationalisation? It is an increasingly important challenge for all actors involved in internationalisation activities, and is particularly acute when it comes to mobility. This dilemma, with all its practical aspects, is more and more at the core of IROs’ work.

If you are committed to green approaches and passionate about internationalisation, the Student Mobility Summit 2025 is for you!

CHARM-EU’s role at the student mobility summit

CHARM is an active participant at the summit and hosts two of the sessions.

Discuss, cooperate, and network

At the summit you will gain insights into translating policy into practice, discover national and institutional initiatives, and access valuable resources to support your work. You will have the opportunity to cooperate with peers from across Europe on the most challenging issues. You will be able to deepen your knowledge and learn from each other in an inspiring atmosphere.
