Partner universities in this endeavour are: the University of Barcelona (Spain), Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), ELTE Eötvös Loránd University (Budapest, Hungary), University of Montpellier (France) and newly joined Åbo Akademi University (Turku, Finland), University of Würzburg (Germany), Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences (Germany) and University of Bergen (Norway). CHARM-EU is funded by the European Commission through Erasmus+ to design, develop and pilot a challenge-based curriculum and innovative European University model.
Ádám is the co-lead of WP 3 Educational Practice of the CHARM-EIGHT project. He is involved in updating the existing master's programme of Global Challenges for Sustainability, exploring educational opportunities for a broader audience to develop knowledge, including a strategy for micro-credentials, badges and continuous education and a team-based transdisciplinary joint CHARM-EU Doctoral programme.
Ádám worked as an education innovator for a year at the Innovative Didactic Concepts team of the EWUU alliance (Alliance TU/e, WUR, UU, UMC Utrecht).
