CHARM-EU Winter School 2026
2026-02-04 - 2026-02-06 | University of Barcelona. Faculty of Economics and Business, Diagonal, 690-696, Room 2019 (Building 696)., Barcelona, Barcelona, 08034, Spain
All information

This hands-on training program, organised with the active involvement of trainers from seven CHARM-EU universities, equips early career researchers with the skills, tools, and mindset needed to ideate, design, contribute to, or lead citizen science projects, with a special emphasis on their social dimensions.
Through guided discussions, interactive workshops, real-world case studies, and collaborative project development, participants will explore how to best engage citizens, communities and societal stakeholders in the research process, apply participatory methods, and navigate the ethical, practical, and scientific aspects of citizen science. By the end of the program, participants will have an initial plan in hand and will be equipped to co-create impactful, inclusive, and socially relevant science within and beyond their disciplines, integrating the multi- or transdisciplinary dimensions of citizen science.
Students will have the opportunity to present their ongoing citizen science projects and to design new citizen science strategies collaboratively in groups. Each group will focus on one or more of the following driving ideas, which are instrumental in the development of a citizen science project: co-creation, communities, tools, data, ethics and inclusion, and action.

Enacting Education for Sustainable Development 3: spotlight on teaching practices for exploring ‘Worldviews, Perceptions and Values’
2026-02-16 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Paris) | online
Supported by CHARM-EU, this webinar series shares the background of Trinity College Dublin’s Enacting Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) staff development module in the context of the CHARM-ED partnership between TCD, ELTE and UB. In Webinar 3, colleagues and PhD students of Trinity Business School will share their insights and reflections of the adaptation and delivery of the Enacting Sustainable Development Module to all incoming first year Business programme students.
TCD, UB and ELTE’s CHARM-ED project Enacting ESD will enable staff to experience, and then integrate the student-centred, action-oriented and transformative approaches into their teaching envisaged in UNESCO’s preferred pedagogical approaches. The project will adapt resources previously used for professional development in TCD (supported by video’s and teaching guides available as Open Education Resources) to create a micro-credential format shareable across the CHARM-EU Alliance.
This third webinar will outline Trinity Business School’s approach for adapting the module for incoming first year students (Dr. Norah Campbell and Declan Cahill). Participants can hear directly from the PhD students who rolled out workshops to undergraduate students in Trinity Business school for theme 1 on Exploring a Sustainable Existence: Limits to growth -The fishing game (Fódhla O’Connell-Grennell) and theme 2 on Systems complexity and future forecasting in sustainability: The Nitrogen problem, toward a sustainable food future (Sadhbh Crean). The webinar finishes with an open Q&A session.
Date: Monday, 16 February
Time: 10:00-11:00 UTC / 11:00-12:00 CET
Format: Online panel discussion (live stream + recording available afterwards)

Webinar 1/3: recording and presentation
Webinar 2/3: recording and presentation

‘Exploring worldviews, perceptions and values’ is one of five related blocks collaboratively developed by an interdisciplinary staff-student team in TCD (2023-2024). Videos are grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals, Rockstrom and Colleagues’ planetary boundaries and Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics shortfall dimensions providing core insights from experts. Mining in the Congo provides real-world case studies, developed by student interns, helping learners to question their worldviews, perceptions and values related to sustainability dilemmas from community, policy maker and corporate perspectives. Workshop activities incorporate cycles of role play and peer debate that induce learners to accommodate alternate perspectives presented by their peers using established techniques for moral reasoning competencies development. Reflection on Raworth’s social equity and gender equality dimensions are prioritised. Having experienced the workshop process as a learner, facilitated exploration of the theoretical underpinnings, or pedagogical approach, used in workshop design supports Teaching Practice development for those enacting Education for Sustainable Development.

CHARM-EU Professional Development Networking Days: Building Bridges for Academic Development and Educational Innovation
2026-03-18 - 2026-03-19 | Ruhr West University of Applied Science, Campus Parkstadt, Wissollstraße 19, Mülheim is an der Ruhr, Mülheim is an der Ruhr, 45478, Germany
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.
The networking event will bring together representatives from centers for teaching and learning and similar units across the alliance.
Hosted 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.
Through 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.
A 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.

CHARM-EU Networking Days: English as a Medium Instruction (EMI)
2026-05-18 - 2026-05-19 | UIT Montpellier-Sète, 99 Av. d'Occitanie,, Montpellier, Montpellier, 34090, France
Target Participants
This event is designed for higher education lecturers, program coordinators, EMI trainers, researchers, and university policy-makers involved in the design, delivery, or evaluation of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) programs. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of EMI principles, with an interest in exploring pedagogical strategies, assessment approaches, and internationalisation practices.
Overview and Objectives
The EMI Networking Event provides an in-depth exploration of English-Medium Instruction (EMI) in higher education across Europe. Through keynote speeches, case studies from European universities, and a glimpse of the EMI training course at UM, participants will gain insight into current EMI practices within the CHARM-EU Alliance and beyond.
The event also examines EMI as a strategic tool for university internationalisation, highlighting how institutions can leverage EMI to:

Enhance global engagement and attract diverse student populations,
Foster cross-border academic collaboration,
Support lecturers in designing and delivering high-quality EMI courses.
Participants will have the opportunity to share experiences, exchange best practices, and discuss challenges and innovations in EMI, contributing to a European-level dialogue on pedagogy, policy, and institutional strategy.
