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.\nTCD\, 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. \nThis 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. \n  Date: Monday\, 16 February\n  Time: 10:00-11:00 UTC / 11:00-12:00 CET\n Format: Online panel discussion (live stream + recording available afterwards)\n Join here: Teams\n Privacy notice: Please find the privacy notice here. \nThis event is open to all CHARM-EU members and anyone beyond who is curious to learn. No registration is required. \nIf you missed the previous webinar events\, check out these resources: \n\nWebinar 1/3: recording and presentation\nWebinar 2/3: recording and presentation\n\n  \n‘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. \nSpeakers\nDr. Norah Campbell\n \nNorah Campbell is an Associate Professor of Marketing in Trinity Business School and a Fellow of Trinity College Dublin. Her research is in the commercial determinants of health: identifying and measuring the ways business activities – supply chain\, taxation\, lobbying\, marketing\, product design and public relations – can impact the population’s health. \nShe does research on the fossil fuel\, ultra-processed food\, alcohol\, gambling and tobacco industries\, and teaches at undergraduate and executive level on strategies to counter harmful industries’ influence and promote alternative models of business and thriving. \nFódhla O’Connell-Grennell \nFódhla is a Ph.D. Candidate at Trinity Business School\, researching marketing and degrowth.

You can find more information on their website here.  \nAcademic freedom is widely recognised as a key condition for the functioning of open and democratic societies that adhere to the rule of law. Similarly\, full realisation of academic freedom is unlikely when these values are being challenged. At the times when academic freedom and trust in science gradually erode in Europe\, this annual STOA conference focuses on the relationship between academic freedom and democracy\, as well as policy initiatives that support these values. \nThe conference will allow policy makers and scholars discuss the following questions: What is the role of academic freedom in democracy? What are the policies and policy initiatives that acknowledge their relationship and support them? What trends do we observe in the state of both democracy and academic freedom? \nPROGRAMME \nModerator: Robert-Jan SMITS\, President of the Netherlands House of Education and Research \n14.00 – 14.30 Opening and keynote speeches \n\nOpening: Christian EHLER\, STOA Chair\, Member of the European Parliament\nKeynote speech: Roberta METSOLA\, President of the European Parliament\nKeynote speech: Cypriot EU Council Presidency\nKeynote speech: Ekaterina ZAHARIEVA\, European Commissioner for Startups\, Research and Innovation\n\n14.30 – 15.30 Democracy and the role of academic freedom \nAcademic keynote “What is democracy today and how we measure it”: Professor Svend-Erik SKAANING\, Aarhus University\, Department of Political Science \nPanel discussion with: \n\nChristian EHLER\, STOA Chair\nCarolina PLESCIA\, University of Vienna\, Department of Government\nTomas TOBÉ\, EU Democracy Shield Committee\, Rapporteur\, Member of European Parliament\nMaria Cristina RUSSO\, European Commission\, Deputy Director-General for Innovation\, Prosperity and International Cooperation\n\n15.45 – 16.00 Break \n16.00 – 16.50 Latest trends in academic freedom: findings of EP Academic Freedom Monitor 2025 \n\nPeter MAASSEN\, University of Oslo\, author of Academic Freedom Monitor 2025\nPaola MATTEI\, University of Milan\, author of Academic Freedom Monitor 2025\nVasiliki KOSTA\, University of Leiden\, author of Academic Freedom Monitor 2025\nLina GALVEZ\, STOA Vice-Chair\, Member of European Parliament\n\n16.50 – 17.00 Closing remarks \nIvars IJABS\, STOA Vice-Chair\, Member of European Parliament \n#EP4AcademicFreedom \n \n Register here\n \nThe event will be webstreamed.

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.

In the face of increasingly complex global challenges\, it is no longer enough to simply combine different academic disciplines. Instead\, the task is to create forms of collaboration that connect different kinds of expertise\, experiences\, and perspectives across institutions\, sectors\, and cultures. Drawing on examples from CHARM-EU’s educational practices\, the discussion will consider how students\, researchers\, professional staff\, and external partners can work together to co-create knowledge and address multifaceted challenges. It will reflect on what it takes to move beyond disciplinary silos and build spaces for dialogue\, mutual learning\, and genuinely collaborative problem-solving. \n  Date: Monday\, 20 April  Time: 13:00–14:00 CET Format: Online panel discussion with Q&A \nPlease notice your: Privacy notice! \nEach CHARM ON features a moderated panel with voices from across our university community (educators\, researchers\, students\, and support staff) sharing concrete experiences that bring CHARM-EU’s approaches to life. Together\, they connect principles to practice\, point to good examples in our Service Portfolio\, and signpost trainings and follow-up opportunities offered by the Alliance. \nCHARM 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. \n \n Join CHARM ON #6\n \n \n \n Sandra CRNKO(UU)\n \n \n Annet VAN DER RIET(UU)\n \n \n Prof. Judit MÁDL-SZÖNYI(ELTE)\n \n \n Dr. Jake Rowan BYRNE(TCD)\n \nSandra Crnko is an Assistant Professor at University Medical Center Utrecht within the Department of Pathology.

ButlerWHY THIS BOOK?: Parable of the Sower\, written in the 1980s and set in the 2020s\, feels strikingly close to some present day developments in the U.S.A.\, particularly in its portrayal of climate stress\, social fragmentation\, and economic instability. The novel follows Lauren Olamina\, who develops a belief system centered on adaptability and change while navigating a society shaped by resource scarcity and environmental decline. The narrative connects ecological crisis with social justice\, resilience\, and community building\, asking what it takes to create livable futures under pressure. The book offers both a warning and a framework for thinking about transformation in times of systemic crisis.TAGS: science fiction\, climate fiction\, dystopia\, social (in-)justice\, resilience\, change\, adaptabilityRecommended by: Sonja Frischfrom the: Hochschule Ruhr WestSustainable Learning – Inclusive Practices for 21st Century ClassroomsAUTHOR: Lorraine Graham ; Jeanette Berman ; Anne BellertWHY THIS BOOK?: This is an essential guide that covers everything you need to know to implement sustainability at every level in training and education : "Learning for all\, Teaching that matters\, Learning that lasts".TAGS: Teaching and Learning\, SustainibilityRecommended by: Patricia CUCCHIfrom the: Université de MontpellierThe Serviceberry – An economy of gifts and abundanceAUTHOR: Robin Wall KimmererWHY THIS BOOK?: This book explores the idea of a fundamentally new perspective on human economy by looking at the interconnections and ecological relationships in nature. It thereby questions the notion that resources are scarce and hence the will always be competition about access and monetary incentives. Instead\, it argues that all natural resources are abundant and that a gift economy would be much more sustainable. The book is hence a great introduction to different relevant concepts in sustainability\, such as "ecosystem services" or "ecological economics".TAGS: ecology\, economy\, indigenous knowledgeRecommended by: Nadja Simonsfrom the: Julius-Maximilians-Universität WürzburgTemästarens bokTITLE IN ENGLISH: The memory of waterAUTHOR: Emmi ItärantaWHY THIS BOOK?: Global warming has changed the world's geography and its politics. Wars are waged over water. In the far north\, seventeen-year-old Noria Kaitio is learning to become a tea master like her father\, a position that holds great responsibility and great secrets. Tea masters alone know the location of hidden water sources\, including the natural spring that Noria's father tends\, which once provided water for her whole village.TAGS: Novel\, DystopiaRecommended by: Anna Granbergfrom the: Åbo Akademi UniversityThe Planet-friendly KitchenTITLE IN ENGLISH: The Planet-friendly KitchenAUTHOR: Karen EdwardsWHY THIS BOOK?: What I appreciated most is how approachable and practical the book feels. Sustainability can often seem complicated\, but this book breaks it down into simple\, manageable steps. It helps you understand what’s really behind the food you buy - what to choose\, what to avoid\, and how small changes in your kitchen can actually make a difference. It feels more like a friendly guide than a rulebook - something you can dip into whenever you need inspiration or a bit of reassurance.Recommended by: Zsuzsanna Bódaifrom the: Eötvös Loránd TudományegyetemThe Reindeer ChroniclesAUTHOR: Judith D. SchwartzWHY THIS BOOK?: The Reindeer Chronicles gives a hopeful view on how the most wounded places on earth across the world can still be restored. The book demonstrates how solutions to seemingly intractable problems can come from the unlikeliest of places\, and how the restoration of local water\, carbon\, nutrient\, and energy cycles can play a dramatic role in stabilizing the global climate. Ultimately\, it reveals how much is in our hands if we can find a way to work together and follow nature’s lead.TAGS: sustainability\, regenerationRecommended by: Freeke Jansenfrom the: Universiteit UtrechtThe Ministry of the FutureAUTHOR: Kim Stanley RobinsonWHY THIS BOOK?: The author is known for doing hard Science fiction. The settings were generally situated in the 2100-2200 and so on centuries. The far future. \n\nHere\, the story takes place from the Summer of 2024 to the 2070s. We see solutions being implemented\, others already existing in the real world. From the rewildering initiatives to the création of a carboncoin backed by central Banks\, so virutally impossible to short. An economic proposal made in 2017 by an economist.\n\nThis book saved me from my eco-anxiety. It gave me hope and some kind of a purpose.TAGS: Hope solutions pragmatic-optimismRecommended by: Hugo Godartfrom the: Université de MontpellierArvejordTITLE IN ENGLISH: Tangled RootsAUTHOR: Maria TurtschaninoffWHY THIS BOOK?: Arvejord (eng. Tangled Roots) is a quiet novel about generations bound to the same land. Through their lives\, the novel explores the tension between traditional\, sustainable ways of living and the pressures of modern exploitation. Nature is a source of power and richness\, while at the same time a frail and vulnerable thing\, reminding us that human survival depends on respecting ecological limits and caring for the land over time.TAGS: ecofiction\, historyRecommended by: Matias Dahlbäckfrom the: Åbo Akademi UniversityOn Time and WaterAUTHOR: Andri Snær MagnasonWHY THIS BOOK?: The Icelandic author recounts the story of water and time through personal family histories\, environmental conferences\, climate research reports\, and explorations—both from a personal and a scientific perspective. The book highlights the crucial importance of Earth’s water resources and how global warming threatens this delicate balance. Guiding the reader from Icelandic glaciers to the Himalayas\, it draws attention to serious issues that urgently require solutions. An exceptionally engaging and thought-provoking volume.TAGS: water resources\, water\, glacier\, global warmingRecommended by: Ferenc Takófrom the: Eötvös Loránd TudományegyetemAntropocéanoAUTHOR: Cristina RomeraWHY THIS BOOK?: AntropOcéano by Cristina Romera Castillo shows how human activity is transforming marine ecosystems through climate change\, pollution\, and overfishing\, while stressing the ocean’s key role in regulating Earth’s climate. This connects directly to sustainability\, as protecting the ocean is essential for maintaining biodiversity\, food security\, and climate balance. The book highlights that sustainable practices—such as reducing waste\, conserving resources\, and supporting marine protection—are crucial to preserving ocean health and ensuring a viable future for both ecosystems and humanity.TAGS: sustainability\, water\, ocean\, climate change\, biodiversityRecommended by: Cristina Galvánfrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaThe Garden Against TimeAUTHOR: Olivia LaingWHY THIS BOOK?: In The Garden Against Time\, Olivia Laing writes about the history of ‘the garden’ as a physical and cultural space\, while describing the daily work in her own garden over the course of the seasons (almost meditatively working to rebuild this green space against the backdrop of covid\, Trump\, and climate change). She writes thoughtfully about the politics of the garden as a sanctuary (who can own and access green spaces?)\, and traces the idea of the garden as ‘paradise’ through time (including wonderful examples of queer subversions of the notion of paradise — in the form of actual gardens). I will freely admit: I have become a total garden-nerd since reading this book!TAGS: Non-fiction; memoir; gardens; culture; cultural history; botany;Recommended by: An Prudonfrom the: Universiteit UtrechtBirnam WoodAUTHOR: Eleanor CattonWHY THIS BOOK?: Birnam Wood is an eco-thriller about what happens when heartfelt principles meet obscene wealth. Meet Mira Bunting\, who together with her friends\, has founded an activist guerilla gardening collective: Birnam Wood. They are struggling financially\, but that all changes when Mira meets a mysterious billionaire who manufactures drones.Recommended by: Sylvia den Hengstfrom the: Universiteit UtrechtA Plam for the Wild-BuiltAUTHOR: Becky ChambersWHY THIS BOOK?: The "A Monk and Robot" duology is a novella exploring sustainability\, consciousness\, and purpose. It follows tea monk Sibling Dex and robot Mosscap on a journey through a post-industrial\, rewilded moon in a utopian future where technology is integrated with nature\, offering a "hopepunk" meditation on environmental balance and companionship.TAGS: fiction\, science fiction\, fantasy\, solarpunk\, LGTBIQA+\, utopiaRecommended by: Mireia Via Nadalfrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaThe Word for World is ForestAUTHOR: Ursula K. Le GuinWHY THIS BOOK?: This book is a seminal work of eco-fiction\, exploring the catastrophic impact of colonialism and deforestation on an alien world. It highlights the contrast between the sustainable\, indigenous culture who live in harmony with its forested planet\, and the destructive exploitation by human settlers seeking to exploit wood resources.TAGS: Fiction\, Science Fiction\, Fantasy\, Dystopia\, Ecology\, ColonisationRecommended by: Mireia Via Nadalfrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaThe Fifth SeasonAUTHOR: N. K. JemisinWHY THIS BOOK?: N.K. Jemisin’s "The Broken Earth" trilogy ("The Fifth Season" being the first book) explores sustainability through a post-apocalyptic\, environmental justice lens\, portraying a fictional world where chronic\, human-induced climate change —or "Fifth Seasons"— forces a brutal\, unsustainable existence. The series links ecological destruction with systemic social inequality\, showing how environmental abuse and societal oppression are intertwined.TAGS: Fiction\, Science Fiction\, Fantasy\, Dystopia\, LGTBIQA+Recommended by: Mireia Via Nadalfrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaSobre los huesos de los muertosTITLE IN ENGLISH: Drive your plow over the bones of the deadAUTHOR: Olga TokarczukWHY THIS BOOK?: Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead has been described as a “feminist ecothriller\,” offering a provocative exploration of the blurred boundaries between sanity and madness\, justice and tradition\, autonomy and fate. At its core\, the novel asks a pressing question: Who is worthy of a voice?\nSet in a remote Polish village\, the story delves into the complexities of human nature through the perspective of Janina Duszejko\, an eccentric woman in her sixties who narrates the events following the disappearance of her two beloved dogs. Reclusive and unconventional\, Janina prefers the company of animals to people\, places her trust in astrology\, and treasures the poetry of William Blake—whose work inspires the book’s title. Written by Nobel Prize–winning author Olga Tokarczuk\, this novel is a brisk yet thought‑provoking journey guided by an unusual narrator who invites us to empathise with her deep concern for the environment and the welfare of animals.TAGS: #ecofeminism #nature #thrillerRecommended by: Laia Alonsofrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaSilent springTITLE IN ENGLISH: Silent SpringAUTHOR: Rachel CarsonWHY THIS BOOK?: Can a book change the world? Rachel Carson’s 1962 work did just that. By revealing the harmful effects of chemical pesticides like DDT\, she sparked a global awareness that fueled the rise of the modern environmental movement and ultimately led to restrictions on these products. A foundational and inspiring read for anyone interested in sustainability.TAGS: #Environment #contamination #pesticides #DDT #healthRecommended by: Bibiana Bonmatifrom the: Universitat de BarcelonaLa Pared / The WallAUTHOR: Marlen HaushoferWHY THIS BOOK?: The Wall is a landmark of ecofeminism because it strips away the "man-made" world to reveal a deeper connection to the Earth. At the same time\, the narrative forces you to "slow down" to the pace of the seasons. The author replaces the frantic "clock-time" of modern life with "natural-time." As a reader\, the author makes you feel the fresh air from the mountains or the tension before a storm.TAGS: #ecofeminism #zerowaste #natureRecommended by: Blanca Burillo Lagofrom the: Universitat de Barcelona URL:https://charm-eu.eu/event/books-for-sustainability/ CATEGORIES:CHARM event,Sustainability END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260423 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260425 DTSTAMP:20260416T150521 CREATED:20260316T111517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T091139Z UID:10000140-1776902400-1777075199@charm-eu.eu SUMMARY:CHARM-EU Networking days: Building a European Network for « Sustainability Reporting » learning and research DESCRIPTION:This event will bring together educators\, researchers\, and stakeholders from across the CHARM-EU alliance to explore connections between sustainable accounting\, finance\, law\, and management in the context of the European Green Deal.

At the same time\, academic collaboration increasingly unfolds within a complex geopolitical and regulatory environment. Universities are expected to navigate evolving policy frameworks\, heightened public scrutiny\, and questions of institutional responsibility\, while safeguarding academic freedom\, research integrity and international openness. \nAgainst this backdrop\, the China Competence Centre of the University of Würzburg and the KoWinChi project (Interacting Competently with China in Science) — a joint programme of the University of Würzburg and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg\, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research\, Technology and Space — invite participants from across Europe to exchange experiences and reflect together on institutional approaches to cooperation with China. \nOver the past two years\, the KoWinChi project has worked closely with researchers and administrative staff at German universities to strengthen awareness\, institutional sensitivity and informed engagement in academic cooperation with China. With this conference\, we would like to continue the discussion within the broader European context\, creating space for comparative perspectives and shared reflection on institutional approaches\, governance practices\, and academic engagement. \nThe conference will address the following themes: \n\nEuropean messaging towards China: interpretations and impact\nManaging collaboration with China: institutional approaches\nRisk management in academic cooperation with China\nWillkommenskultur: making international students feel welcome\n\n  \nThe first day will feature analytical and practice-oriented panels\, bringing together university leadership\, researchers\, administrators\, and policy actors engaged in European–China academic cooperation. The second day will take the form of interactive workshops aimed at identifying best practices\, governance models\, and potential avenues for future European exchange and collaboration. \nRegistration includes access to this exclusive round of discussions\, as well as nutrition and refreshments throughout the conference. Participation is free of charge. Secure your spot by completing the registration form available here. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to Germany in September 2026!
