Student Opportunities
The Institute for EU and European Studies has successfully secured funding from various sources including the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union to offer outreach activities to UVic students, scholars, and the UVic community. With this funding our community of faculty, alumni, visiting scholars and students engage in lectures, workshops, presentations, online courses and other outreach and learning opportunities throughout each year.
Student-led Initiatives
COVIDA-Collective
COVIDA is a collective of academics who aim to provide a fresh, transformative perspective on global politics. COVIDA was founded by a group of students and professors who desired to make a lasting impact on the world around them. As such, the group’s name is reflective of the global environment in which COVIDA was created. COVIDA and its members wanted to apply their ideas in a setting that was outside of the classroom. Initially, these ideas were focused around addressing the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications regarding human rights and civil liberties. Furthermore, COVIDA’s translation from Latin means ‘living together’ which ties into the group’s overarching objective of getting individuals to work together as equals to create a better world.
