Description/achievement of initiative

CHARM-EU represents a Challenge-Driven, Accessible, Research-based and Mobile model for the co-creation of a European University aligned with the European Values, the European Green Deal and the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Implementation methodologies

This model envisages a European higher education campus utilizing the lasts modern technology in the service of accessibility and internationalisation. This will be done through the creation of a master's in Global Challenges for Sustainability starting in September 2021.
