Funds can be used to develop new courses or make necessary changes to existing courses. The latter can, for example, involve creating an English version of a Norwegian course, facilitating hybrid participation in regular courses, or providing support to accommodate more students in the course.

All students at CHARM universities can apply for the online course catalog. Participation is conducted as ‘virtual mobility’ so that students can apply to have the course approved as part of their degree at their own institution.
