Studierwerkstatt Workshop: AI and Academic Writing

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing everything, including academic writing, research, and more. But AI is more than just chatbots like ChatGPT. With a growing number of AI tools available, it’s challenging to determine which ones are truly useful and how to make the most of them.

That’s why this workshop explores both the opportunities and challenges of AI. You’ll gain insights into different tools and the technology behind AI, learn how to use them effectively to improve your writing, and understand the academic guidelines for their application. If you’re curious about the do's and dont's of AI at the University, join our workshop!

Teaching Without Borders: CHARM‑EU’s Vision for International, Hybrid Education

CHARM‑EU creates a truly international learning environment where students and educators move seamlessly across universities, cultures, and teaching traditions. Its mobility framework combines virtual, blended, and physical participation, allowing learners to join courses from partner institutions and collaborate in diverse, multicultural teams.

This same spirit shapes the short course Innovative Teaching in Inter‑Institutional Hybrid Classrooms, which supports educators in co‑teaching across borders, designing shared curricula, and using hybrid technologies to connect classrooms in real time.

Together, these initiatives show how CHARM‑EU builds a European educational space where knowledge, people, and practices circulate freely. International teaching becomes not an add‑on, but the core of how CHARM‑EU prepares learners and professionals to work across languages, disciplines, and societies.

 Four goals of international teaching for CHARM‑EU

• Enable cross‑border collaboration among students, teachers, and institutions.
• Develop intercultural and global competences through shared learning experiences.
• Advance innovative hybrid pedagogies that link classrooms across Europe.
• Expand mobility and access so learners benefit from multiple academic environments.
