CHARM ON #2: International Joint Programmes
2025-10-27 13:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Paris) | Montpellier
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) Join here: Teams Privacy notice: Please find the privacy notice here.
This event is open to all CHARM-EU members and anyone beyond who is curious to learn. No registration required.
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.
