What is CIVIS?
The University of Glasgow is an associate member of CIVIS - a European Civic University.
CIVIS is a multicultural and multilingual European Civic University formed by the alliance of leading higher education institutions across Europe.
The CIVIS alliance is one of the 60 Flagship European Universities and is funded by the EU through the European Universities initiative under the ERASMUS+ programme.
It brings together eleven research-lead and civically engaged Universities across Europe and connects over 430,000 students and 63,000 members of staff (including +33,400 academics and researchers).
CIVIS aims to create a unique European inter-university space for innovative and responsible teaching, research, cultural exchanges and citizen action across Europe and Africa. The Alliance aims to tackle major societal challenges of the 21st century focused on five thematic challenges:
- Health
- Cities, territories and mobilities
