A European University alliance shaping the future of higher education
CIVIS is Europe's Civic University Alliance, a pioneering initiative under the European Universities initiative of the European Commission. It unites 11 leading research-intensive higher education institutions across the continent, forming a dynamic academic community of over 470,000 students and 58,000 staff.
CIVIS is determined to underpin a strong European identity while building bridges beyond Europe. Through our projects and initiatives, we promote connections with the Mediterranean region and Africa, opening new pathways for cooperation and mutual understanding. Our alliance benefits from a well-balanced geographical distribution across the European Union, ensuring representation and diversity at every level.
