The European University of Social Sciences, or CIVICA, is a university alliance of European higher education institutions specializing in the social sciences.[1][2] It was established in 2019 and has been funded by the European Commission.[3][4]

History

[edit]

Prior to its establishment, CIVICA members were closely networked, having long-held professional and institutional partnerships, materialising in dual degrees, Erasmus exchanges, and research collaborations on a bilateral basis.[5]

At CIVICA's Bucharest conference, the public presentation of the consortium and its objectives, the rectors of the seven universities set out to educate the future generations of professionals in social sciences. Creating a European identity is essentially the long-term, fundamental objective of the CIVICA consortium.[6]

Professor Simon Hix, London School of Economics' Pro Director for Research, joined partner institutions in Brussels on 7 November 2019 to officially launch CIVICA.[7] CIVICA initially had eight schools. SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) and IE University (Spain) joined it later.[7]
