The European University of Social Sciences, or CIVICA, is a university alliance of European higher education institutions specializing in the social sciences. It was established in 2019 and has been funded by the European Commission.
History Prior to its establishment, CIVICA members were closely networked, having long-held professional and institutional partnerships, materialising in dual degrees, Erasmus exchanges, and research collaborations on a bilateral basis.
Professor Simon Hix, London School of Economics' Pro Director for Research, joined partner institutions in Brussels on 7 November 2019 to officially launch CIVICA. CIVICA initially had eight schools. SGH Warsaw School of Economics (Poland) and IE University (Spain) joined it later.
