CIVIS enables students and doctoral candidates to gain international experience. To this end, the alliance partners offer various course and mobility formats: from short-term stays to entire semesters abroad, from seminars face-to-face in the classroom to hybrid and online events. All offers open up new perspectives.
The postgraduate micro-programme “Equitable and Just Digital Society: Developing Interdisciplinary Skills and Knowledge” focuses on the social challenges of digital and technological transformations. In different modules, students will develop critical knowledge and practical skills to become interactional experts in research for an equitable and just digital society. Two online courses are currently open for application:
This course examines how digital technologies shape society, highlighting inequalities and justice in digital contexts. You analyse power in digital systems affecting work, health, welfare, identity, and participation, while developing interdisciplinary skills to integrate technical, social, cultural, and policy perspectives. Sessions will start in January 2027– find out more and apply by 31 October!
Digital technologies are not neutral tools but "techno-social devices" that actively assemble and reorganize social activity structures. This module examines how these devices function as learning environments that transcend the traditional boundaries of time and space. The course adopts an expanded view of education as a life-long and life-wide process that occurs across formal, non-formal, and informal settings. Get all the details and apply by 31 October!
Would you like to learn together with other students from across Europe? The Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) combine online teaching with a study week abroad. A BIP is worth 3 to 6 ECTS credits; funding to help cover the cost of travel is available. Find out more about BIPs, check out the new courses in the course catalogue and apply by 31 October!
Do you enjoy dancing or are you interested in choreography and creative collaboration? Then join the CIVIS Dance Lab 2027 at the University of Tübingen! From 10th to 16th May 2027, you will have the opportunity to take part in a unique international dance project together with dancers from CIVIS partner universities. Rather than learning an existing choreography, you will bring your own movement experiences, ideas, and cultural perspectives to the project. Together, participants will create an original artistic performance, supported by professional dance practitioners, while exploring different dance traditions and cultural backgrounds through creative exchange. Are you interested in dance, and eager to become part of an international creative project? Find out more and send your application to Dr. Sandra Dreher-Mansur.

CIVIS supports extra-curricular activities and initiatives by CIVIS students. These student-led projects can focus on topics related to civic engagement, student academic and cultural events or the promotion of the European identity and values. They should aim to create a way through which students, academics and local actors can cooperate and follow a transdisciplinary approach for developing innovative and inclusive initiatives to drive societal change.
