Starting in October, CIVIS invites the professors of the 11 member universities to a series of workshops on Innovative Pedagogies.

Another 15 workshops are to be held in late 2023 – early 2024. You can keep up to date with them by following the page on the CIVIS website, here.CIVIS develops an educational offer that tries to meet the needs of a changing time: interdisciplinary, intercultural, increasingly digital and able to connect local and global challenges. But this defines a new educational landscape for most professors and students. That’s why we believe that the best way to adapt and provide the top possible learning experiences for our students is to learn from experts from all CIVIS member universities.
