European higher education reflects the rich diversity of Europe’s culture with various types of institutions representing differing geographical, historical, cultural and lingual perspectives. Operating in an intercultural and boundary-spanning atmosphere since their establishment, European University Alliances – such as CHARM-EU– are in a unique position that comes with both challenges and opportunities. On 5-6 November, ELTE will host the CHARM-EU Days 2024.

For the first time, it will also incorporate a Cultural Festival to showcase CHARM-EU members’ languages and cultures, elte.hu wrote.
