A challenge-based approach to fuel our civic, impact-driven alliance
The CIVIS, European University Alliance is stimulated and structured on the foundation of the knowledge square: Education, Research, Innovation and Civic Engagement.
Our actions in designing new study programmes, facilitating research collaborations and fostering civic engagement will focus on five major challenges of local and global reach :
- Climate, Environment, Energy
- Health
- Society, Culture, Heritage
- Digital and Technological Transformations
- Cities, Territories, Mobilities
At the local level, these challenges will inter alia be structured in the form of open labs, and with a strong cooperation with regions and civil society as a whole. More info: https://civis.eu/en/engage/open-labs.
At the European level, each of these challenges will be the focus of one “Hub” where multinational and multi-disciplinary educational and research programmes will be developed. More info: https://civis.eu/en/teach-and-research/our-hubs.
At the global level, CIVIS will address these challenges in mirror collaboration with its African and Mediterranean partner
