Towards interdisciplinary and impact-driven academic and research projects

Fostering collaboration in education, research and innovation are fundamental aspects of our European University Initiative. Within our university alliance, we will develop innovative educational and research initiatives which will focus on major societal challenges rather than disciplines. To this extent, we will foster collaboration around 5 interdisciplinary thematic research and education areas which are linked to CIVIS’s values and closely connected to the UN sustainable development goals:

  • Health

  • Cities, territories and mobilities

  • Digital and Technological transformation

  • Climate, environment and energy

  • Society, culture, heritage

Supporting you through career development and extensive collaboration

Working within the CIVIS university alliance, you will:

  • benefit from facilitated access to a European and collaborative environment
  • have access to first-class research and academic infrastructures
  • benefit from funding opportunities and doctoral fellowships
  • take on a European Doctoral programme with mobility opportunities
  • develop your professional skills through advanced courses and training programmes
  • work on interdisciplinary and international projects which are focused on societal challenges
  • build a professional network at European and international level
