CIVIS Days 2024 in Salzburg

The CIVIS Days 2024 conference programme included a wide range of working meetings and public sessions aimed at fostering cooperation and knowledge sharing within the CIVIS Alliance, with other Alliances, and the broader community. Public sessions covered topics such as the European degree, Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP), African-EU scientific cooperation and European Universities alliances (experiences, outlook). Highlighted initiatives included the Jean Monnet Network PolyCIVIS and special activities for our students.

An integral part of the conference were the working sessions, with open workspaces dedicated to spontaneous meetings, BIPs and degrees, and transdisciplinary teaching. Focus areas included the results of staff mobility, future strategy and cross-hub meetings. The formation of a conference choir enhanced the creative and collaborative atmosphere. The final performance at the CIVIS International Reception was a highlight. The Alliance celebrated two important milestones during this special event: the ceremonial signing of the Alliance Agreement and the presentation of CIVIS' first Secretary General.

CIVIS Day 2023 in Tübingen

In May 2023, CIVIS travelled to Germany to enjoy the hospitality of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen.

For this year’s edition, Tübingen focused on three topics under the banner “Sustainably Connected Universities”:

1. Celebrating the academic substance of the CIVIS Alliance 
2. Exploring the realities of CIVIS as an Inter-University Space
3. Underlining our commitment to sustainability 

The three-day event featured numerous workshops, seminars and meetings, organised around three main pillars:

• Meetings for the governance and management bodies of the CIVIS Alliance
• Workshops combining actors from different CIVIS bodies 
• Public sessions open to external participants, both in person and online. The lectures and panel discussions during “CIVIS – a sustainably connected Alliance” showed how we are building our inter-university space with an eye for the future of our Alliance and the planet.
