Civis offers for students and doctoral candidates

Students working on a whiteboard

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.

Courses within the “Equitable and Just Digital Society” micro-programme

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:

Future Digital Society

The course "Future Digital Society" introduces students to the question of how computing affects contemporary society (and vice versa), and how the development and use of digital technology raises social, economic and ethical issues in society. Sessions will start in September – find out more and apply by 16 July!

Ethics of Innovations for the Digital Welfare State

The course “Ethics of Innovations for the Digital Welfare State”, starting in mid-October, investigates the ethical aspects of digital innovation in the public welfare sector. Students will learn how ethics helps to see that digital innovation is not objective and neutral and how ethical reflection can contribute to responsible innovation. Find out more and apply by 15 July!
