History

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.
