CIVICA Research Conference

The CIVICA Research conference takes place on 12-13 October 2023 in-person (and online) at the Sciences Po campus in Paris.

The conference will be the closing event for the CIVICA Research project to share the key outcomes and achievements over the last three years. The event will bring together faculty and researchers from CIVICA's ten leading European universities in the social sciences: Bocconi University, CEU, EUI, Hertie School, IE University, SNSPA, Sciences Po, SGH Warsaw School of Economics, SSE, and LSE. 

The first day of the conference will include a keynote lecture by Philippe Aghion titled “Is Green Growth Possible?”, a poster presentation for PhD and postdoctoral researchers, as well as four panel sessions featuring a selection of the collaborative research projects that were funded under CIVICA and organised around the four core themes of CIVICA:

• Societies in Transition, Crises of Earth
• Democracy in the 21st Century
• Europe Revisited
• Data-Driven Technologies for the Social Sciences. 

The second day of the conference will showcase key capacity building activities completed during the lifespan of the project (on topics such as Open Science, professional networks, and mobility opportunities), along with a plenary session to discuss the policy landscape of funding research within alliances of European Universities.

The conference is open to everyone interested.
