CIVIS announces the organization of the 2023 edition of the Global CIVIS Days event on May 24, 25 and 26, 2023. Entitled Sustainably Connected Universities, this year’s edition will focus on the relationship between society – culture – sustainability.
The event, organized in 2023 by the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, will bring together students, teaching staff, administrative staff from the member universities, decision-makers and innovation makers and local authorities from all over Europe.
The meetings within the Global CIVIS Days aim to create an adequate milieu for discussions and cooperation in order to strengthen CIVIS by identifying innovative solutions to the societal challenges that CIVIS faces.
Thus, the three days of Global CIVIS Days 2023 will include numerous workshops, conferences, working meetings and other activities, organized in three main formats, which will highlight the academic and societal relevance of CIVIS, the reality of the CIVIS Alliance seen as an interuniversity milieu, but also the commitment to society of all CIVIS member universities.
