Such communication can only truly be effective if research communications are trusted. Such trust can be impacted by poor qu ality science communication\, including a lack of openness\, over-hyping f indings or failure to communicate uncertainty. So\, how can research insti tutions support their researchers in communicating research results effect ively and with integrity? And what can researchers do to ensure that their communications cover relevant points for communicating with integrity?

European higher education reflects this rich diversity with va rious types of institutions representing differing geographical\, historic al\, cultural and lingual perspectives. Operating in an intercultural and boundary-spanning atmosphere since its establishment European University A lliances are in a unique position that comes with both challenges and oppo rtunities for unleashing creativity and building synergies for a more sust ainable and inclusive future. While recognizing and building on the divers ity of culture represented within their own community\, Alliances are also expected to reflect European values and identity and simultaneously harne ss connections with partners outside Europe.The Annual Conference provid es an opportunity to reflect on the meaning and practice of intercultural learning and to examine the overarching issue of culture with its interpre tations and role in deepening transnational and inter-institutional collab oration within and beyond Alliances. The Cultural Festival is aimed at showcasing CHARM-EU members’ languages and cultures and engaging visitor s in activities that provide insight into CHARM-EU cultures in a playful w ay.

Positionality i s a reflection and recording of the researchers’ position upon the resea rch 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 solu tions to challenges. A key part of this process is for students to acknowl edge 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 positional ity resource for challenge-based learning.   Facilitator: Silvia Gallag her (Trinity College Dublin)Rapporteur: Jenny Kirkwood (Trinity College Du blin)Venue: Faculty Meeting Room (groundfloor)\, main building (Venue A)Ex change students and interculturalityCome and meet students from your unive rsities!

They have now been stu dying 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 a re the intercultural experiences? What were the expectations? What are the challenges? What has been more difficult or easier than expected? Are the re any surprises? What do they foresee to take away? In other words – h as the dream been fulfilled so far? Facilitator: Luca Alexa Erdei\, PhD ( Eötvös Loránd University)Rapporteur: Harriet Klåvus (Åbo Akademi Univ ersity)Venue: ELTE Faculty of Humanities\, Building F\, Room 101 (Venue B) Culture(s) and Story CirclesThrough the adaptation of two activities by fa mous interculturalists Kate Berardo and Darla Deardorff\, participants wil l be invited to reflect upon the notion of culture(s) what is required to build intercultural competence. (Developing Intercultural Competencies Th rough Story Circles – Adapted from Darla Deardorff https://unesdoc.unes co.org/ark:/48223/pf0000370336)Facilitator: Céline Fabre (Université of Montpellier)Venue: Aula Magna Ceremonial Hall\, main building (Venue A)AI era challenges of multilingualism in Europe (interactive discussion)Having 24 official languages\, the European Union promotes linguistic diversity and multilingualism and encourages citizens to communicate in two other la nguages than their mother tongue. However\, protecting linguistic diversit y and promoting multilingual learning can be challenging without appropria te support and resources. This workshop will focus on the multilingual asp ect of Europe\, discovering the roles European Universities can have in su pporting language learning and multilingualism through reflecting on sever al issues: What exactly do we meany by multilingualism in the European con text?  How can European Universities leverage technological innovation an d AI for supporting language learning and multilingualism? What is the rol e of ‘translation’ in the everyday life of European citizens in the 21 st century and how can universities and European University Alliances posi tion themselves in this regard? How can European Universities support lear ners in practicing their language skills and learning new languages? How c an we promote/incorporate interculturality and multilingualism in the clas sroom? How can we use English as a facilitator for further language learni ng and intercultural understanding without threatening linguistic diversit y? Moderator: Orsolya Réthelyi (Eötvös Loránd University)Speakers: Pr of. dr.

Through their ' third mission\,' universities expand their influence beyond traditional ac ademic roles\, emerging as informal diplomatic actors. They foster global collaboration and address common challenges such as public health crises\, climate change\, and geopolitical tensions.\n\nFunded by the CIVICA Call for Thematic Activities\, the KIND conference seeks to explore how CIVICA contributes to fostering global cooperation\, advancing international dial ogue\, and addressing shared global challenges. By focusing on the collabo rative efforts of CIVICA partners\, the conference will highlight how acad emic institutions engage in diplomacy through knowledge-driven initiatives .\n\nThe conference will include representatives from five CIVICA universi ties (EUI\, LSE\, Bocconi\, CEU\, SGH) including senior faculty\, academic s\, doctoral students\, alumni\, and staff. In addition\, it will host rep resentatives from other university alliances participating in the European Universities Initiative\, alongside Ukrainian universities\, EU policymak ers\, and high-level stakeholders. This diverse gathering will foster a mu lti-stakeholder dialogue enriched by various perspectives.\n\nOver the two -day conference\, we will examine how universities contribute to knowledge creation\, shape community integration\, and influence science policy int eractions. We will explore their evolving role in global affairs\, discuss ing potential tensions and concerns. Understanding this shift is crucial f or university leaders\, researchers\, educators\, students\, and policymak ers\, as it underscores the strategic importance of universities as indepe ndent actors in current affairs.\n\nKey Questions for Discussion\n\n What role do universities play in fostering understanding and cooperation in t he context of current geopolitical challenges and conflicts through inform al diplomacy?\n How do universities\, particularly those within the CIVIC A alliance\, act as informal diplomatic actors?\n In what ways can the kn owledge produced and disseminated by universities influence international relations and policy-making?\n\nMore information here.\n\n CATEGORIES:Learning END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:46@charm-eu.eu DTSTART:20241127T080000Z DTEND:20241127T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260612T092009Z URL:https://charm-eu.eu/news-events/events/which-and-how-many-engineers-fo r-tomorrow/ SUMMARY:Which and How Many Engineers for Tomorrow?
