CIVICA Research Conference
12-13 October 2023 | Sciences Po, Paris
The CIVICA Research conference takes place on 12-13 October 2023 in-person (and online) at the Sciences Po campus in Paris.
The conference will be the closing event for the CIVICA Research project to share the key outcomes and achievements over the last three years. The event will bring together faculty and researchers from CIVICA's ten leading European universities in the social sciences: Bocconi University, CEU, EUI, Hertie School, IE University, SNSPA, Sciences Po, SGH Warsaw School of Economics, SSE, and LSE.
The first day of the conference will include a keynote lecture by Philippe Aghion, a poster presentation for PhD and postdoctoral researchers, as well as four panel sessions featuring a selection of the collaborative research projects that were funded under CIVICA and organised around the four core themes of CIVICA:
- Societies in Transition, Crises of Earth
- Democracy in the 21st Century
- Europe Revisited
- Data-Driven Technologies for the Social Sciences.
The second day of the conference will showcase key capacity building activities completed during the lifespan of the project (on topics such as Open Science, professional networks, and mobility opportunities), along with a plenary session to discuss the policy landscape of funding research within alliances of European Universities.
The conference is open to everyone interested.

Keynote lecture
Philippe Aghion is a Professor at the College de France, at INSEAD, and at the London School of Economics, and a fellow of the Econometric Society and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on the economics of growth. With Peter Howitt, he pioneered the so-called Schumpeterian Growth paradigm which was subsequently used to analyze the design of growth policies and the role of the state in the growth process. Much of this work is summarized in their joint book Endogenous Growth Theory (MIT Press, 1998) and The Economics of Growth (MIT Press, 2009), in his book with Rachel Griffith on Competition and Growth (MIT Press, 2006), and in his survey “What Do We Learn from Schumpeterian Growth Theory” (joint with U. Akcigit and P. Howitt. In 2001, Philippe Aghion received the Yrjo Jahnsson Award of the best European economist under age 45, in 2009 he received the John Von Neumann Award, andin March 2020 he shared the BBVA “Frontier of Knowledge Award” with Peter Howitt for “developing an economic growth theory based on the innovation that emerges from the process of creative destruction”.
On 12 October 2023, Philippe Aghion, will provide the keynote lecture during the conference entitled: “Is green growth possible?”
