The graph displays the total number of participants categorised by sending and hosting institutions. It encompasses all selected applicants from both the first round (May-December 2023), the second round (December 2023-March 2024) and the third round (March-June 2024) of the CIVICA Faculty Short Visits.
This latest cohort of 17 scholars adds to the inaugural group of 26 selected in the initial round launched in May of the previous year. Concurrently, the second cohort of visiting faculty is presently immersed in enriching visits across various member institutions within the CIVICA alliance.
The selection process, overseen by a committee consisting of vice-presidents for research and senior faculty members from across the alliance, meticulously assessed the proposals based on their scientific merit and potential impact on ongoing research efforts. The chosen participants form a well-balanced mix of individuals from both sending and receiving institutions, promising the cultivation of fresh collaborations and the enrichment of the academic landscape within the CIVICA alliance.
The CIVICA Faculty Short Visits Scheme is organised in the framework of CIVICA - The European University of Social Sciences, funded by the Erasmus+ programme. CIVICA brings together ten leading European higher education institutions in the social sciences, humanities, business management and public policy, with a total of 72,000 students and 13,000 faculty members. Together, they build on an ever-stronger combination of teaching, research and innovation to mobilise and share knowledge as a public good and to facilitate civic responsibility in Europe and beyond.
