We kindly invite you to join us. \nCommunicating research findings is a central part of the mission of researchers and research institutions. Such communication can only truly be effective if research communications are trusted. Such trust can be impacted by poor quality science communication\, including a lack of openness\, over-hyping findings or failure to communicate uncertainty. So\, how can research institutions support their researchers in communicating research results effectively and with integrity? And what can researchers do to ensure that their communications cover relevant points for communicating with integrity?

DESCRIPTION:The European Green Deal is a political milestone that aims to promote a carbon-neutral economy in the European Union. Decarbonizing the complex food sector requires a unified interaction between effective climate policies\, economic instruments and multi-stakeholder initiatives. \nDespite the political push to promote technological innovation\, reformulate policies and channel financial investments into green projects\, comprehensive information on opportunities and barriers to emission reduction in the food sector is still under-researched. \n\nThe ENOUGH project is an ambitious research initiative that provides the necessary technical\, policy and economic tools to support the green transition. This presentation will inform the public about the gaps in policy\, the need for investment and consumer perspectives on sustainable food. \nDr. Ianna Dantas is a postdoctoral researcher at the Ibero-America Institute for Economic Research at the University of Göttingen. Her research focuses on natural resource management\, sustainable development and agriculture\, land use change\, tropical deforestation\, and development. \nZoom-Link:\nhttps://uni-wuerzburg.zoom-x.de/j/61140353928?pwd=L0JVrqrasrem7uFkS5Uew3oWVrHVcY.1\nMeeting-ID: 611 4035 3928\nPasswort: 438681 \n\n  URL:https://charm-eu.eu/event/policy-interventions-for-a-sustainable-food-supply-chain-where-are-we-now/ CATEGORIES:Sustainability ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://charm-eu.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/lecture-policy-intervention-for-a-sustainable-food-supply.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241106 DTSTAMP:20260418T174415 CREATED:20240615T140013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251008T105507Z UID:10000005-1730764800-1730851199@charm-eu.eu SUMMARY:CHARM-EU Annual Conference 2024 DESCRIPTION:How does culture shape our identities\, influence our perspectives\, and inform our interactions within an increasingly interconnected world? The 2024 CHARM-EU Annual Conference will examine the overarching issue of culture with its interpretations and role in deepening transnational and inter-institutional collaboration within and beyond Alliances. \nThrough a series of keynote speeches\, panel discussions and workshops\, the conference will focus on the professional aspects of languages\, cultures as well as intercultural learning\, uncovering opportunities and challenges for European University Alliances. The event will bring together students\, staff members\, representatives from fellow alliances\, policymakers and external stakeholders. \nSessions will cover topics such as: \n\nFostering intercultural awareness\nFacilitating transnational and intercultural learning\nStrengthening cultural bonds and cooperation between partners\nEmphasizing how interculturality shapes the strategy of partner universities and how alliances approach their processes based on intercultural collaboration\nBuilding inter-university campuses with students and academics across countries and disciplines working together\n\nprogramme\nMain venue: Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE)\, H-1053 Budapest\, Egyetem tér 1-3\, Aula Magna (Some of the afternoon workshops and the evening session will be organised at a different venue in the vicinity.) \nHow to arrive: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ArmsBK1UNUL1prU99 \nFormat: On-site with hybrid sessions.

The workshops and evening sessions are designed as presential sessions. \nSpeech-to-Text Reporters provide real-time captioning. Their expertise is essential to the Conference to cater to the greatest level of attendees’ access and participation needs. Inclusion by design means designing the environment from the beginning to the greatest extent of users (preventive) rather than a retrospective approach (fixing the environment afterwards).

Taking the CHARM-EU initiative as a prime example\, the session will explore how alliances are equipping students with the tools to thrive in an international environment. The CHARM-EU intercultural awareness course provides comprehensive intercultural training for students participating in mobility programs across all CHARM-EU universities and study levels. The course aims to equip students with the necessary skills for navigating intercultural interactions\, fostering intercultural learning\, reflection\, and competencies. The discussion will be a platform to share and explore the diverse strategies employed by European Universities Alliances to raise awareness on interculturality and empower students to navigate a globalized academic landscape.  \n\nChair: Rena Zendedel (Utrecht University)\nPanelists: Christelle Tallon (EU-CONEXUS)\, Zuhal Okan (EUPeace)\, Benedikt Franke (Julius-Maximilians-Universität of Würzburg)\, Priscila Alvarez-Cueva (UB)\nRapporteur: Kristin Torp Skogedal (University of Bergen)\n\n11:30—13:00 | Group Photo and Lunch Break\n\n\n\n AFTERNOON SESSIONS\n \n \n \n13:00—13:30 | Opening of the first CHARM-EU Cultural Festival – Streamed on CHARM-EU YouTube channel\n\nOroslya Réthelyi (Eötvös Loránd University) speech\nMeritxell Chaves\, CHARM-EU Secretary General speech\nEötvös Loránd University Choir\nCHARM-EU Student Council\n\n13:30—14:45 | Global South Perspectives in European Higher Education – Streamed on CHARM-EU YouTube channel\nThis panel session will explore ways to bring Global South perspectives and foster collaboration in the European Higher Education Area.

Positionality is a reflection and recording of the researchers’ position upon the research being conducted\, and what impact it may have on the research. Within challenge-based learning activities\, students and staff are often engaged with stakeholders from different cultures and backgrounds to develop solutions to challenges. A key part of this process is for students to acknowledge their positionality and consider how their biases and backgrounds may influence the research design\, methodology\, and interpretation of their results. This session invites students\, researchers\, teaching staff and stakeholders to share experiences and collaborate to produce a positionality resource for challenge-based learning.    \n\nFacilitator: Silvia Gallagher (Trinity College Dublin)\nRapporteur: Jenny Kirkwood (Trinity College Dublin)\n\nVenue: Faculty Meeting Room (groundfloor)\, main building (Venue A) \nExchange students and interculturality \nCome and meet students from your universities! Almost all CHARM EU HEIs have sent exchange students to ELTE during the autumn term. They had different expectations\, doubts\, practical issues to solve\, etc. before their exchange period. They have now been studying abroad for a while and faced many interesting experiences. How is it to study abroad in comparison to how it is at the home university? What are the intercultural experiences? What were the expectations? What are the challenges? What has been more difficult or easier than expected? Are there any surprises?

This workshop will focus on the multilingual aspect of Europe\, discovering the roles European Universities can have in supporting language learning and multilingualism through reflecting on several issues: What exactly do we meany by multilingualism in the European context?  How can European Universities leverage technological innovation and AI for supporting language learning and multilingualism? What is the role of ‘translation’ in the everyday life of European citizens in the 21st century and how can universities and European University Alliances position themselves in this regard?

European higher education reflects this rich diversity with various types of institutions representing differing geographical\, historical\, cultural and lingual perspectives. Operating in an intercultural and boundary-spanning atmosphere since its establishment European University Alliances are in a unique position that comes with both challenges and opportunities for unleashing creativity and building synergies for a more sustainable and inclusive future. While recognizing and building on the diversity of culture represented within their own community\, Alliances are also expected to reflect European values and identity and simultaneously harness connections with partners outside Europe. \nThe Annual Conference provides an opportunity to reflect on the meaning and practice of intercultural learning and to examine the overarching issue of culture with its interpretations and role in deepening transnational and inter-institutional collaboration within and beyond Alliances. The Cultural Festival is aimed at showcasing CHARM-EU members’ languages and cultures and engaging visitors in activities that provide insight into CHARM-EU cultures in a playful way.

Through their ‘third mission\,’ universities expand their influence beyond traditional academic roles\, emerging as informal diplomatic actors. They foster global collaboration and address common challenges such as public health crises\, climate change\, and geopolitical tensions. \nFunded by the CIVICA Call for Thematic Activities\, the KIND conference seeks to explore how CIVICA contributes to fostering global cooperation\, advancing international dialogue\, and addressing shared global challenges. By focusing on the collaborative efforts of CIVICA partners\, the conference will highlight how academic institutions engage in diplomacy through knowledge-driven initiatives. \nThe conference will include representatives from five CIVICA universities (EUI\, LSE\, Bocconi\, CEU\, SGH) including senior faculty\, academics\, doctoral students\, alumni\, and staff. In addition\, it will host representatives from other university alliances participating in the European Universities Initiative\, alongside Ukrainian universities\, EU policymakers\, and high-level stakeholders. This diverse gathering will foster a multi-stakeholder dialogue enriched by various perspectives. \nOver the two-day conference\, we will examine how universities contribute to knowledge creation\, shape community integration\, and influence science policy interactions. We will explore their evolving role in global affairs\, discussing potential tensions and concerns. Understanding this shift is crucial for university leaders\, researchers\, educators\, students\, and policymakers\, as it underscores the strategic importance of universities as independent actors in current affairs. \nKey Questions for Discussion \n\nWhat role do universities play in fostering understanding and cooperation in the context of current geopolitical challenges and conflicts through informal diplomacy?\nHow do universities\, particularly those within the CIVICA alliance\, act as informal diplomatic actors?\nIn what ways can the knowledge produced and disseminated by universities influence international relations and policy-making?\n\nMore information here.
