The European University of Social Sciences, or CIVICA, is a university alliance of European higher education institutions specializing the social sciences.[1][2] It was established in 2019 and has been funded by the European Commission.[3][4]
History
[edit]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.[5]
Professor Simon Hix, LSE’s Pro Director for Research, joined partner institutions in Brussels on 7 November 2019 to officially launch CIVICA.[6] CIVICA initially had eight schools. SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) and IE University (Spain) joined it later.[6]
