[La redazione CIVIS ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom) 2. CIVIS Days 2025 opened with call for “transclusivity” in European higher education CIVIS Days 2025 opened with call for “transclusivity” in European higher education ================================================================================== 19 giugno 2025 The CIVIS Days 2025 conference, 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. The backdrop, Mario Sironi's 1935 spectacular fresco *"Italy between the arts and the sciences",* and in front, over 250 "*civizens"* who came from all over Europe and Africa to push the CIVIS journey forward. > *Transclusivity is about transforming existing logics, including all perspectives, and flexibilising learning across time, space, and discipline,”* Professor Iucu explained. *“It’s the theoretical glue that can hold together the diverse innovations emerging across our alliances”.* From inclusion to transformation -------------------------------- While inclusion remains a core value across the 65 European University Alliances, Professor Iucu argued that the next step is to **integrate inclusion into a broader, dynamic framework** that supports lifelong, life-wide, and learner-centered education. Drawing on emerging research, he defined **transclusivity** as a developmental pattern where new, more complex systems emerge by transcending and re-integrating existing perspectives. This approach, he noted, is especially relevant for CIVIS, which has already pioneered flexible and inclusive formats such as: - Over **200 Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs)**, - The **TRACEE Master Programme**, a model of transclusive degree design, - Templates for **micro-credentials** and **transnational cooperation**. You can [download Professor Iucu's presentation here](https://civis.eu/storage/files/r-iucu-transclusivity-civis-days-2025.pdf) Providing access to skills for all ---------------------------------- The keynote also resonated with the European Commission’s agenda for a Union of Skills, which emphasises flexible learning pathways, modular curricula, and inclusive access to education. Transclusivity, Iucu argued, provides the unifying theoretical lens needed to scale these innovations across Europe. > *There is no flexible learning without adaptable learning arrangements,”* he emphasised. *“And these arrangements must serve all learners—traditional and non-traditional alike”.* A call to action ---------------- Professor Iucu urged CIVIS and its partners to: - **Co-define the pillars and metrics** of transclusive learning, - **Pilot and scale** transclusive curricula across alliances, - **Embed transclusivity** as a guiding principle for the future of European higher education. His keynote set the tone for a CIVIS Days edition focused on transformation, inclusion, and innovation, reaffirming CIVIS’ role as a leader in shaping the universities of tomorrow, and was followed by a round table in which Professor **Marian Preda**, the Rector University of Bucharest and Dr. **Mattia Bellotti**, Secretary-General of EUTOPIA Alliance shared their experiences on the subject. A full programme on inclusion and diversity ------------------------------------------- Over three dynamic days, participants engaged in transversal sessions and dissemination activities designed to exchange best practices, foster dialogue, and explore innovative strategies. With **“Inclusion and Diversity in Higher Education”** as the central theme, CIVIS Days 2025 in Rome addressed a topic deeply rooted in our shared values. As in past editions, the event combined interactive sessions, collaborative workshops, and dissemination panels, reinforcing the CIVIS Alliance’s role as a dynamic and transnational university community. It closed with a magnificient concert of the **CIVIS Orchestra**, the output of the Blended Intensive Programme [*Rome CIVIS Orchestra Academy 2025*](https://civis.eu/en/learn/civis-courses/rome-civis-orchestra-academy-2025)*.* Four conductors and 64 musicians from six countries performed a programme that included Georges Bizet's *Carmen*, Antonin Dvořák's *Symphony n. 9 in e minor op. 95 "From the New world"* and Nikolaj Rimskij Korsakov's *Capriccio Espagnol op. 34.* **Missed a session or want to revisit the highlights?** We invite you to (re)watch the CIVIS Days 2025 sessions and explore the inspiring contributions from across the alliance. *Photos: CIVIS Commmunication Unit* Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/civis-show-800x600.jpg?token=d33226425fc5127a5aad705fb2a9144c)Sette anni di CIVIS: da un progetto ambizioso a una fiorente comunità accademica Communication and Dissemination 17 settembre 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/seven-years-of-civis-from-an-ambitious-project-to-a-thriving-academic-community) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/visa-policy-paper1-4-800x600.jpg?token=42730770c6893c7e7bddcab57f6fdf95)CIVIS calls for strengthening Africa-Europe academic mobility through a visa policy for science partnerships Opinion 9 settembre 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/civis-calls-for-strengthening-africa-europe-academic-mobility-through-a-visa-policy-for-science-partnerships) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/random-sizes-for-galleries-website-photos-1-800x600.jpg?token=77f645082e58cf18f4ff5b333c9bf163)Gli ambasciatori studenteschi di CIVIS conquistano il palcoscenico nel progetto pilota della redazione Communication and Dissemination 22 giugno 2026 ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/civis-student-ambassadors-take-the-lead-inside-the-newsroom-pilot-project) [ Scopri tutte le nostre storie ](https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom) [ CIVIS universities sign Memorandum of Understanding on sharing research infrastructures ](%20https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/civis-alliance-signs-memorandum-of-understanding-sharing-research-infrastructures%20) [ Service learning as a catalyst for civic engagement and innovation: Insights from CIVIS Days 2025 ](%20https://civis.eu/it/the-civis-newsroom/service-learning-as-a-catalyst-for-civic-engagement-and-educational-innovation-insights-from-civis-days-2025%20) ![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).
