CIVICA gets greenlight from the European Commission: the university alliance continues its expansion
IE University and the SGH Warsaw School of Economics will formally join the leading alliance of European Universities of Social Sciences in October.
CIVICA – The European University of Social Sciences is one of the sixteen European university alliances to receive continued support from the 2022-2027 Erasmus+ programme, as the European Commission announced this week.
After a three-year pilot phase, this achievement sets the stage to establish CIVICA as an integrated deep and fully-fledged European university alliance in the social sciences, now bringing together ten world-renowned higher education institutions across Europe. During this new phase, CIVICA aims to develop a joint vision for 2030 with respect to priorities on education, research, innovation and service to society.
With a total budget of 272 million euros, the European Commission launched the 2022 Erasmus+ European Universities call to facilitate the full roll-out of the European Universities initiative. The CIVICA alliance outlined an ambitious set of actions for the future in a strategic proposal submitted last March.

Can creative industries shape the world of tomorrow through New Media?
IE University holds METAMYTHS, a discussion on the future of Arts, Fashion and Technology.
The effects of technology on human beings have been discussed at length, but a key question has often been overlooked: how are the main drivers of change in society evolving with the emergence of new technological media? The prestigious campus of IE Tower analyzed this topic yesterday morning by presenting METAMYTHS, a discussion on the future of Arts, Fashion and Technology fostered by the IE University Arts & Humanities Division. Moderated by the Deputy Director of El País Eugenia De La Torriente, this panel featured the voices of Brendan Cormier (Senior Design Curator at Victoria & Albert Museum of London), Sophie Neuendorf (Vice President at Artnet), and Enrique Agudo (New Media Artist).
The conversation continued with the presentation of Ipseity, two digital paintings by Enrique Agudo permanently installed now in the Auditorium foyer of IE Tower, the fifth highest building in Madrid built with sustainable architecture.
