- three executive committee posts
Voting for these posts will be in April, with the results announced a few weeks before the Istanbul conference. These four posts will only come into effect if we are funded for a fourth CiCe Erasmus Network from October 2008. If our proposal is not funded, we shall not be able to afford this many Executive posts.

Relationship between CiCea and CiCe
The European Commission supports the CiCe Thematic Network for a fixed term to carry out particular activities agreed with the Socrates agency. To date Socrates has supported the CiCe Network for four separate periods (1998-2001; 2001-2; 2002-5; 2006-8).
The CiCe Association is independent of the European Commission, and will have an existence independent of the Commission. It will nevertheless continue to seek funding for Network activities from the Commission beyond 2008.
We are the academic association for the study of young people's citizenship education and identities, with members in most European countries.
We coordinate a European Commission Erasmus Network: click on the logo below to visit the Network site.
We publish a regular academic journal, and other publications.
Our current President, Christine Roland-Levy
