CIVIS for Staff Members

CIVIS is also an Alliance for the staff of our member universities, both faculty and administrators. We are here to help you share experiences, knowledge and skills with your international peers. Our workshops and training courses offer professional development opportunities related to administrative, technical, management and pedagogical roles. Many take the form of Erasmus+ Staff Weeks, incorporating a short visit to another member to meet your colleagues and learn together.

All CIVIS universities share academic freedom and intellectual values as well as a culture of excellence. Closely connected to their cities and regions, they nurture civic values such as equality, liberty and solidarity, and are fully committed to solving societal challenges.

Our activities for staff (both faculty and administrative) include:

  • Staff weeks: dynamic, hands-on learning experiences designed for university staff to exchange ideas, develop professional skills, and build international networks sessions.
  • Job shadowing: 2 to 60 days of professional development, cross-border collaboration, and knowledge exchange among staff
  • Communities of Practice
  • An annual international conference

Testimonials

A great opportunity to exchange ideas with representatives from HR departments within CIVIS alliance. It was inspiring to learn about innovative approaches and best practices and to discuss future joint projects. The exchange opened new perspectives and provided valuable inspiration for my own work

I really enjoyed my Erasmus+ stay. I felt warmly welcomed and found many professional connections. There was valuable exchange in administration, teaching, and research. I shared my projects and learned from others. Best of all, we launched several collaborations and still work together
