How can we reshape social science education to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world?

On 29 May 2026, CIVICA, The European University of Social Sciences, invites academics, students, policymakers and industry leaders to the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA) in Bucharest for a milestone conference dedicated to the future of teaching and learning.

As the landscape of higher education evolves, CIVICA remains at the forefront of the "European university of the future." This one-day event is a unique platform for cross-border collaboration, focusing on the innovative formats that are redefining how we study, teach, and apply the social sciences today.

An Open Forum for Global Stakeholders

Innovation thrives on diversity of thought. We are opening our doors to a broad spectrum of voices to ensure a holistic approach to the future of learning. We invite:

  • Academics & Higher Education Experts to debate pedagogical shifts.
  • Students & Early-Stage Researchers to share their vision for the future of training.
  • Business Leaders & Civil Society to bridge the gap between degrees and the labor market.
  • National & EU Policymakers to explore the regulatory frameworks of modern education.

On the Agenda: Redefining the Classroom

The social sciences are uniquely positioned to address contemporary global challenges. Our sessions will dive deep into the practical tools that are making education more accessible and impactful:

  • Micro-credentials: Implementing flexible, lifelong learning paths that adapt to professional needs.
  • Joint Training Programmes: Creating seamless educational experiences that span borders and sectors.
  • Transnational Collaboration: Strengthening the link between research, innovation, and civic engagement.

To facilitate a truly international dialogue, the conference will be held in a hybrid format, allowing for meaningful interaction both on-site in Bucharest and via our digital platform.
