CIVIS Innov’Spheres CIVIS Innov’Spheres ==================== CIVIS Innov’Spheres is a transnational student entrepreneurship initiative that inspires and supports social innovation across Europe and Africa. By mobilising students and university ecosystems, it develops solutions to environmental, digital and societal challenges while fostering a new generation of entrepreneurial leaders. ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/is3.jpg)CIVIS Innov’Spheres is part of an effort to raise awareness and train students in social entrepreneurship, enabling them to acquire key skills while addressing current issues such as migration, inclusion, the management of natural resources, agroecology, public health, and environmental and digital transformations. Social innovation provides a framework for experimenting with collective solutions that are rooted in local realities and are inclusive and sustainable. *Co-funded by the* [*Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF)*](https://www.auf.org/projet/innovation-sociale-pour-lhorizon-entrepreneurial-euro-africain-des-etudiants/) *and designed for French-speaking students in a Euro-African dynamic, the project enables participating universities and civil society organizations to explore ways in which they can collaborate to promote student entrepreneurship.* Who is the project for? ----------------------- The project’s main target are third-year undergraduate to PhD **students** within the five universities involved in the projects. They will benefit from the internationalisation of the activities at their universities. **The ambition is to train a new generation of universities’ entrepreneurs capable of responding to major contemporary challenges (inclusion, sustainable development, health, migration, etc.).** Building on specific challenges identified locally, students will be supported by university staff and non-academic stakeholders to develop their entrepreneurial initiatives with a strong social impact. The project encourages collaboration and whether is possible reflect on the existing interdependencies of the involved universities’ communities, in particular the [CIVIS Open Lab](https://civis.eu/es/discover-civis-alliance/our-work/open-labs-civic-engagement) experiences. A commitment to social innovation --------------------------------- CIVIS Innov’Spheres aims to become, by September 2027, a local catalyst that brings together universities, public institutions and private actors around a common commitment to social innovation. Through concrete actions, the project seeks to act as a lever against unemployment among young graduates, by promoting job creation. ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/is2.jpg)The Innov’Spheres team during a meeting in Sfax, 2026.**Innov’Spheres’ main objective** **is to improve each university’s performance** **in the realm of student entrepreneurship** by building on the CIVIS experience. It will also promote inter-university collaboration when designing activities that raise awareness, provide education and conduct research on the realm of student entrepreneurship. Universities as catalysers of change ------------------------------------ This programme seeks to **make the university a central player in social innovation** in its territory and foster a new generation of changemakers. It allows students to acquire interdisciplinary knowledge and practical skills, while strengthening universities’ capacity to support student initiatives through shared tools and a common self-assessment process. The project is based on three interdependent pillars: **awareness**, **training** and **research**. It is structured around key actions such as: - Mutualised training (online, onsite, hybrid); - transnational hackathons; - collection of testimonies of the participants; - comparative study on the intentions to undertake and self-evaluation of the practices carried by partner universities. **Transnational hackathons are a flagship activity of the project**, which will take place in two phases: 1. **An intermediate phase** organised by each university over a one-month period: 12 November - 12 December, 2026. 2. **A transnational final phase** to be held in a partner country in March 2027, bringing together the winners of the intermediate hackathons. Students can participate through a selection of candidates in each university. The team -------- The project consolidates a [Euro-African academic network that has been active for years within the CIVIS Alliance](https://civis.eu/es/discover-civis-alliance/associate-members-universities-in-africa), while expanding cooperation to include non-academic stakeholders. The initiative addresses its key challenges by focusing on the transformative potential of student entrepreneurship within university ecosystems, particularly by fostering partnerships and collaboration between the two continents. ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/is1.jpg)Meeting of the Innov’Spheres team in Marseille, 2025.Innov’Spheres is **coordinated by** [**AMU (Aix Marseille University)**](https://civis.eu/en/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/aix-marseille-universite), in collaboration with: - [Université Cheikh Anta Diop](https://civis.eu/en/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/universite-cheikh-anta-diop-de-dakar) de Dakar (Senegal), - [Hassan II University of Casablanca](https://civis.eu/en/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/universite-hassan-ii-de-casablanca) (Morocco), - [University of Sfax](https://civis.eu/en/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/university-of-sfax) (Tunisia), - [University of Bucharest](https://civis.eu/en/discover-civis-alliance/what-is-civis/university-of-bucharest) (Romania), - [Ucoopia European Inter-university NGO](https://ucoopia.org/en/home/) (Belgium). ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/en-co-funded-by-the-eu-pos.png)*Innov’Spheres is a 24 months project co-funded by AUF, Agence Universitaires ancophonie Program Co//ectif 2025 - DREO-9441.* ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
