What does it mean to travel in unchartered territory and co-create the university of tomorrow, today? CIVIS is a journey that evolves with every project, every collaboration. It is a multicultural, multilingual endeavour that thrives in the personal encounters and the professional development of each member, each "civizen". Discover CIVIS!
CIVIS is Europe's Civic University Alliance, formed by 11 leading, research-oriented higher education institutions across Europe: Aix-Marseille Université, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, University of Bucharest, Université libre de Bruxelles, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Sapienza Università di Roma, Stockholm University, Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, University of Glasgow, Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and University of Lausanne.
Six leading universities in Africa join CIVIS as Associate Members: Université Hassan II de Casablanca, Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Makerere University, Eduardo Mondlane University, Université de Sfax.
It brings together a community of more than 470,000 students and 58,000 staff members including 35,000 academics and researchers in Europe alone. Including CIVIS’ African members, its community counts more than 720,000 students and 75,000 staff.
Rooted in their urban and regional landscape, our CIVIS member universities actively contribute to the social, cultural and economic dynamism of their ecosystem and promote European values such as inclusiveness, gender equality, non-discrimination and social equity. CIVIS will forge richer interactions and co-creation of knowledge and skills with citizens, schools, enterprises, social and cultural associations.
The involvement of our member universities in this alliance will help reduce inequalities, increase access to quality training and create real opportunities for success for all our students and staff.
