CIVICA Public Lecture Series Tours d'Europe

Hosted in turn by each CIVICA university, the CIVICA Public Lectures Tours d'Europe are designed to reaffirm CIVICA's role as 'a university for all'.

Researchers and experts from CIVICA member universities share their findings and interrogations on contemporary issues with a non-expert audience. The series aims to strengthen citizens' knowledge base.

Each event in the CIVICA Public Lecture Series is tailored to the local community and strives to create a bridge between academic and the wider public.

Recordings with English subtitles of the events will be available digitally for a global audience.

We use an image classification task - assessing crowd-sourced street view images of urban neighborhoods - to compare assessments generated by GPT-4o with those from a nationally representative survey, and a locally representative survey of city residents.
