PolyCIVIS PolyCIVIS =========== PolyCIVIS: Confronting the Polycrisis in Europe and Africa through Research, Policy and Education ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PolyCIVIS is a Euro - African collaboration that brings to the forefront the global polycrisis, allowing a better understanding of the impacts of several concurrent major societal crises challenging the world in the form of a polycrisis. In the wake of the global polycrisis, urgent challenges have emerged, prompting PolyCIVIS to take action. Our initiative is dedicated to addressing these pressing global issues and their interconnected consequences. We will look at challenges such as the escalating economic and social disparities, environmental degradation, and the overarching climate crisis. ### A Jean Monnet Network of 21 Universities Initiated in late 2023, PolyCIVIS allows discussion, collaboration and action arising out of the collaboration between universities in Europe and Africa. A Jean Monnet Network, (Policy Debate: Foreign policy issues: EU-AFRICA), PolyCIVIS mobilises a consortium of 21 universities: all [11 CIVIS Alliance universities](https://civis.eu/en/about-civis/universities), all [6 CIVIS African strategic partners](https://civis.eu/en/african-partner-universities), and an additional 4 African universities. ### Newsletter Stay connected with the PolyCIVIS newsletter!
