CEU recently hosted representatives from CIVICA universities to continue service to society initiatives across the alliance.

Conference at CEU hosts discourse regarding the “third mission” of universities.

Science shop as a concept was born on citizens’ demand for the universities to help answer questions and challenges of their own communities. It has evolved into various shapes and forms over the years but the core mission is the same: to engage citizens, civil society organizations and public bodies in education and research related collaborations with the university, always keeping an eye on public benefit. In practice, the incoming questions or requests are transformed into course assignments, internships, thesis works or research projects .

“Learning should not be a privilege,” says CEU’s eldest student.
