Student initiatives

Student initiatives

CIVICA is an alliance of ten high-ranking universities in the field of social sciences with more than 73,000 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.

Since October 2022, CIVICA has broaden its offering to a wider community as IE University (Spain) and the SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) formally join the university alliance.

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.
