UM is a member of a European university: CHARM EU
The CHARM EU Alliance is part of the European Universities initiative and brings together the universities of Barcelona (UB), Dublin (TCD), Budapest (ELTE), and Utrecht (UU). The network is based on the establishment of long-term cooperation in terms of joint study programs and student and staff exchanges, and lays the foundations for an innovative model designed to promote the free movement of people, ideas, and practices.
CHARM– EU: capitalizing on shared expertise
The university alliance capitalizes on the expertise developed through the many existing partnerships between its members. At stake: more than 2,000 bilateral publications and active mobility at the student and teacher-researcher levels. Charm-EU's ambition is to build on these bilateral collaborations to foster multilateral cooperation and produce a sustainable and replicable governance model.
It has three objectives:
- define a common strategy to better respond to the challenges and needs of sustainable development through training backed by research and innovation;
- innovate by promoting student and teacher mobility and the creation of courses that respond to the challenges and needs of sustainable development;
- share services, resources, and infrastructure to stimulate the emergence of a shared campus.
The uniqueness of CHARM-EU, a world of opportunities
Based on a multilingual and multicultural model and making mobility the norm, CHARM-EU relies on a unique and innovative approach based on flexible and customizable programs fueled by training, research, and the pooling of resources and knowledge by five renowned institutions.
Without a doubt, the opportunities offered by such an association are endless. Strength lies in unity, and this will be essential given the scale of the challenges ahead. CHARM-EU will offer students the opportunity to pursue a unique academic path by taking courses at partner institutions in order to benefit from their expertise on a given subject and thus create a path to excellence, while equipping them with the tools to better respond to future challenges, particularly in terms of sustainable development and European identity.
Breaking down barriers, strengthening cooperation, promoting mobility, developing a European identity, creating opportunities... these are the objectives of CHARM-EU and the keys to meeting the major challenges of tomorrow.
