European Alliances, joint learning, new pathways

This public CIVIS session explores how joint learning can grow from early cooperation into new educational pathways across institutions, disciplines, and borders. Through the stories of TRACEE, NAT4DD, and POLYCIVIS, the conversation will highlight innovation in programme development, student experience, and alliance-based educational design. Bringing together staff, students, and external guests, the session will offer an engaging reflection on what it takes to build learning together in Europe today. Open to both onsite and online audiences, it will showcase the educational ambition of CIVIS and the practical lessons emerging from its evolving portfolio. • Alasdair SKELTON (Professor at Stockholm University, Co-Chair of the CIVIS Hub on Climate, Environment and Energy, and member of the TRACEE programme team) • Sara LAGINDER (Coordinator/Deputy Institutional Coordinator for CIVIS at Stockholm University and member of the TRACEE programme team) • Lavinia RUȚĂ (Lecturer at the University of Bucharest and member of the NAT4DD programme team) • Daniela DE VITA (Associate Professor at Sapienza University of Rome and member of the NAT4DD programme team) • Gudrun ZAGEL (Associate Professor at Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and member of the PolyCIVIS team) • Roman PUFF (member of the PolyCIVIS team) • Clara BAUMGARTEN (TRACEE student from the first cohort, with an academic background in ethnology and diversity studies) • Francisc-Ioan DÂNCĂ (University of Bucharest student and former PolyCIVIS BIP participant) • Anne LEQUY (Professor at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, former Board member of the European University Association and member of the German Science and Humanities Council) • Moderator: Alexandru CARȚIȘ (Head of CIVIS Education Unit, Assistant Professor at the University of Bucharest)
