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.
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.
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. The course is part of the postgraduate micro-programme “Equitable and Just Digital Society: Developing Interdisciplinary Skills and Knowledge”. Find out more and send your application to mone.spindlerspam prevention@uni-tuebingen.de by 9 October!
