The second edition of the Forum of European University Alliances is set to kick off in Barcelona, Spain, on the 14th and 15th of September, drawing representatives from various university alliances, the European Commission, Member States, and students.

The third edition of the CIVICA Summer School was hosted in September 2023 at the European University Institute’s (EUI) Villa Salviati. The summer school offered an interdisciplinary debate on transnational democracy.

The new academic year has started at SSE and everyone at the school was delighted to welcome the new students during the past week. One of the highlights was the academic fair, which provided representatives of CIVICA the opportunity to get to know the incoming BSc-students early on.

This week, CIVICA launches this academic year’s joint and multicampus courses, continuing the alliance’s work towards a true European campus. The courses are one of CIVICA’s many transnational experiences enabling students to pursue academic paths beyond any one institutional or national context.

Bachelor students from across the alliance can enroll in the CIVICA Engage Track, a European multi-campus, interdisciplinary bachelor experience with a focus on civic engagement. Sciences Po students tell us about their experience.

The CIVICA European Week 2023 brought together approximately 100 bachelor students, lecturers, and experts in Paris this year to collaborate on the theme of ecological transitions. Borja Santos, Vice Dean and Professor at IE School of Politics, Economics & Global Affairs, shared his insights on this experience from IE University.
