Check out the agenda of the meeting:

12:00 - 12:05  Welcome & introduction (Dimitra Mousa, Project leader Educate-it, Utrecht University)

12:15 - 12:25  Presentation from a stakeholder: experiences with the Capstone (Roger Engelberts, Director Imagro)

12:25 - 13:00  Q&A and bringing in ideas from stakeholders

During the capstone phase, students work collaboratively with their peers, academic staff, and external stakeholders (e.g. civil society, businesses or (inter)governmental agencies) on a real-life sustainability challenge. The Capstone starts in September 2022 and runs for a period of 6 months with teams of 4-6 students who are guided by an academic supervisor from one of the five CHARM-EU partner universities in Barcelona, Dublin, Budapest, Utrecht or Montpellier. Both external stakeholders and academic staff are invited to submit a challenge for the Capstone and collaborate with student teams and academics to gain knowledge and other useful products related to their work field. 

Would you like to learn more about how you can submit a challenge and collaborate with CHARM-EU on analysing and addressing your challenge? Join us for an interactive lunch session to learn more and share your ideas.
