The CIVIS Days 2025, hosted by Sapienza Università di Roma from June 11 to 13, opened with a keynote by Professor Romiță Iucu of the University of Bucharest, who introduced a bold concept poised to reshape the work of the European Universities initiative: transclusivity.
In his address titled “From Inclusivity to Transclusivity: The Road from Inclusive Universities to Transformative European Alliances”, Professor Iucu, challenged the CIVIS community and the broader European University Alliance initiative to move beyond traditional notions of inclusion and embrace a more transformative, interconnected model of learning.
Transclusivity is about transforming existing logics, including all perspectives, and flexibilising learning across time, space, and discipline. It’s the theoretical glue that can hold together the diverse innovations emerging across our alliances

The Aix-Marseille Polycrisis Declaration (June 2026)
The Aix-Marseille Polycrisis Declaration is the outcome of the final conference of the PolyCIVIS Jean Monnet Network, a partnership of 21 African and European universities, most of them part of CIVIS Alliance. The declaration addresses the growing reality of the “polycrisis,” in which conflict, climate change, forced migration, economic insecurity, governance challenges, and social inequalities interact and reinforce one another. Recognising that young people are disproportionately affected by these interconnected crises, the declaration emphasises the need for stronger Africa–Europe cooperation and places youth agency, participation, and leadership at the center of responses to contemporary global challenges.- Global partnerships
