Student initiatives

CIVICA is an alliance of eight high-ranking universities in the field of social sciences with more than 50,000 students & PhDs. In addition to the coordinated academic exchange between the universities, CIVICA places the mobility and networking of students and PhDs first.

An essay competition? A podcast series? A joint sports tournament? On this page you can find all CIVICA student-led initiatives.

The CIVICA alliance is open to student initiatives. Contact your local Ambassadors to propose your own ideas and learn about the type of support we can offer.
