First steps towards a CHARM-EU powered course collaboration
Sharing a course setup with other teachers takes some coordination. You have to get them interested in your course, have to show them how the course is set up, and then start to collaborate. Luckily, CHARM-EU is here to help with all of this.

Diving into Water-Related Challenges
Water is a precious resource facing global challenges such as scarcity and pollution. To address these issues, the 2023 CHARM-EU R&I Days hosted a co-creation workshop at the Universitat de Barcelona. Researchers and external stakeholders worked together to develop multidisciplinary research proposals focused on water-related challenges. The four main topics that emerged as central themes were water sustainability regulation, coastal sustainability, water reuse, and urban landscape. Participants had the opportunity to pitch their potential solutions and present how their proposal could be developed.
