SUMMARY:CHARM-EU Professional Development Networking Days: Building Bridges for Academic Development and Educational Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Universities across the CHARM-EU alliance are continuously adapting to new challenges in higher education\, from the integration of emerging technologies to growing expectations around flexible learning and societal impact. To support this transformation\, professionals working in teacher development and educational innovation play a crucial role in helping academic staff strengthen their teaching practices. \nThe networking event will bring together representatives from centers for teaching and learning and similar units across the alliance. \nHosted at Hochschule Ruhr West on 18–19 March 2026\, the event will create space for exchange\, collaboration\, and joint exploration of new approaches to professional development. \nThrough a design-thinking approach\, participants will share best practices\, explore possibilities for joint training offers\, and discuss common challenges. The event aims to strengthen inter-institutional partnerships and contribute to a more connected\, alliance-wide community supporting educational innovation. \nA Design Thinking approach will structure our networking event. Design thinking is a human-centered\, creative approach that helps participants actively explore challenges\, generate ideas\, and identify concrete opportunities for collaboration during the event. For participants\, it means actively engaging in hands-on discussions\, sharing perspectives\, co-creating ideas\, and leaving with concrete connections and potential collaboration opportunities. \nAgenda\n\nMarch 4 Online preparatory sessiohn \n\nBefore the in-person event\, we schedule an online introduction meeting with two objectives: \n\nParticipants introduce themselves and their local approach for professional development\, all using a similar template for presentations.\nExploring challenges/topics/ideas that will be discussed during the in-person event. These should be focused on opportunities for collaboration within the alliance.\n\n\n\nMarch 17 – Arrival Day \n\n17:00 – Cultural activity (Optional\, but exceedingly fun): A cultural and historical tour through Mülheim with the CHARM-EU Peek App. The tour starts at the entrance to HRW on its Parkstadt Campus\, the venue for the next days’ workshop: Wissollstraße 19\, 45478 Mülheim an der Ruhr (refer to the travel information document for a more detailed description). The Peek App tour terminates in the Old Town\, where you can join a self-funded\, pre-event dinner around 19:00 (the restaurant will be communicated closer to the event). Or you can directly join us there. \n19:00 – Dinner (Optional and self-funded\, but gemütlich) joint dinner \n\n\nMarch 18 – Day 1 \n\nLocation: Campus Parkstadt\, Wissollstraße 19\, 45478 Mülheim an der Ruhr \n08:30 – Arrival and coffee [Plenary session – Room R4-0.213]\nOnce you’ve walked through the automatic HRW entrance doors\, do not go up the blue stairs\, but keep a right and pass the illuminated HRW logo to enter into the corridor.
