Faculty, postdoctoral researchers and/or doctoral students in CIVICA universities (Bocconi, CEU, EUI, Hertie School, IE, LSE, Sciences Po, SGH, SNSPA, SSE) are invited to submit joint proposals for ‘thematic activities’.

The call aims to foster collaborative activities, to further existing links or to establish new ones. Activities may include, but are not limited to, organising CIVICA workshops, or small-scale CIVICA conferences with the involvement of (primarily) CIVICA faculty, postdoctoral, and doctoral researchers. Alternatively, applications for seed funding for research projects that lead to larger grant applications are also welcome.
The application deadline is 31 January 2025, 23:59 (CET)
What you should know:
Thematic activity leaders should be permanent faculty from CIVICA universities, or employees with long-term contract. The duration of the contract must go well beyond the end of the funding period. Postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students at CIVICA universities are encouraged to be involved in the thematic activities. Only CIVICA faculty/postdocs/PhDs can be financed.
