  Governance &amp; Deployment Public Report (2019-2022) 
=======================================================

- European Universities initiative
- CIVIS Governance

- Report

- Academics
- Researchers
- Administrators
- Policy makers

 This report presents the state and evolution of CIVIS governance bodies in the first three years of its existance. It highlights the successful implementation of efficient set of structures and procedures to ensure that decision-making is achieved in ways that are inclusive (all members must be heard), respectful of differences in uses, governance culture and laws, and efficient at reaching decisions fast enough to provide CIVIS with the reactivity that is required.

Two key elements of CIVIS Governance are underlined in the report: One specificity of the CIVIS governance bodies is that they rely on two complementary legitimacies: Political legitimacy, reflected in all governing bodies; and academic legitimacy, more specifically envisioned at the level of the hubs through the hub councils and their chairs.

The other key element of the CIVIS governance is its bottom-up approach. This bottom-up approach is directly linked to:

1. The challenge-based approach materialised by the interdisciplinary hubs which are at the heart of CIVIS, and
2. The civic engagement mostly implemented by the Open Labs. Both function essentially from the local level to the global level.
