Wir sind überzeugt, dass die Zukunft Europas und die Zukunft Afrikas miteinander verwoben sind. Darüber hinaus erfordert die Bewältigung globaler gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen interkontinentale Zusammenarbeit. Am 11. März 2022 unterzeichnete CIVIS ein ehrgeiziges Partnerschaftsabkommen mit sechs renommierten afrikanischen Universitäten. Ab September 2024 sind diese Universitäten assoziierte Mitglieder von CIVIS. Afrikanische und europäischen Universitäten in CIVIS verfolgen eine umfassenden Kooperationsansatz und entwickeln gemeinsame Programme und Aktivitäten in den Bereichen Bildung, Forschung und gesellschaftliches Engagement. - [ ![Université Hassan II de Casablanca](https://civis.eu/storage/files/universite-hassan-ii-de-casablanca.png)Université Hassan II de Casablanca ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/universite-hassan-ii-de-casablanca "Université Hassan II de Casablanca") - [ ![Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar](https://civis.eu/storage/files/universite-cheikh-anta-diop-de-dakar.png)Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/universite-cheikh-anta-diop-de-dakar "Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar") - [ ![University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg](https://civis.eu/storage/files/university-of-the-witwatersrand-johannesburg.png)University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/university-of-the-witwatersrand-johannesburg "University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg") - [ ![Makerere University](https://civis.eu/storage/files/makerere-university.png)Makerere University ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/makerere-university "Makerere University") - [ ![Eduardo Mondlane University](https://civis.eu/storage/files/eduardo-mondlane-university.png)Eduardo Mondlane University ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/eduardo-mondlane-university "Eduardo Mondlane University") - [ ![University of Sfax](https://civis.eu/storage/files/universite-de-sfax.png)University of Sfax ](https://civis.eu/de/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/university-of-sfax "University of Sfax") What is CIVIS? *Our people say it best* ----------------------------------------- Video abspielen What's new in CIVIS? --------------------- - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/martin-knoll1-800x600.jpg?token=2dd28f1c93ba3eaf2cd32b2380fdc009)Martin Knoll: a 'civizen' working to build bridges between science and society People 26.
