My organisation
Eötvös Loránd University Bárczi Gusztáv, Faculty of Special Needs Education https://www.barczi.elte.hu/ is perhaps the only university faculty in the world where special needs education and Disability Studies work together, mutually and positively influencing the seeking and sharing of knowledge. Following the principle of “Nothing about us without us,” participatory instructors also take part in the education process: we not only teach about them, but shape the knowlede of our students with them.
CHARM-EU is a European University alliance founded in 2019 by the University of Barcelona (coordinator), Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, https://www.elte.hu/ Trinity College Dublin, Utrecht University, and the University of Montpellier. The Alliance expanded with Åbo Akademi University, Würzburg University and the Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences in 2022, and with the University of Bergen in 2023. CHARM-EU aims to design and create a new university model and become a world example of good practice to increase the quality, international competitiveness and attractiveness of the European Higher Education landscape.
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). All faculties of ELTE are actively involved in the work of the Alliance.
