3rd Mission of UCL during COVID-19 crisis

16 July 2020

The engagement of universities in the society during/after the Coronavirus Crisis: discover the initiatives of 4 European higher education actors including Université Catholique de Lille and her partner, Tbilisi State University, in Georgia”.

Pr JCCailliez :

“We need to work and think differently: we have to use these online technologies for the students so we decided to change a lot of programs for students in the next academic year and we are trying to do the same for the companies. We will continue to invite the people from the society in the university and be open to the people but we have to be more creative, more innovative. If you have difficulties like during this COVID-19 crisis, you are more creative.”
“Students in the universities and people in the companies are connected: in universities, students study on subjects linked to the society and in companies, people create knowledge. We want to work with people inside the universities and outside the universities in collective programs”.

    24th European Summer Program! 

    From May 22 to July 24, the University is again hosting the largest and oldest of our Learn In Lille, Live Europe (LILLE) programs. Since its launch in 2001, the LILLE European Summer Program (ESP) has welcomed an increasing number of international students each year. This season, the program sets a new record with almost 300 participants from all corners of the globe.

    The ESP is structured into two 4-week sessions, and allows every participant to take two courses (for transferable credit) out of around twenty offered by the schools and faculties of our university federation, often in cooperation with our partner universities abroad.

    As usual, the program offers numerous outings, including visits to Bruges, Brussels, and WWI battlefield sites, as well as more local tours, and some exciting intercultural activities, such as the popular international evening, for which the students showcase aspects of their own home countries.

    Little Miracle of Lille: Candlelight Mass

    The Université Catholique de Lille was recently featured in an article from National Catholic Register, highlighting its candlelight Mass.

    In 2016, the chaplaincy here at Université Catholique de Lille launched this initiative, that has since then enjoyed an unexpected and exponential success. The event continues to bring more and more students together.

    Every Tuesday evening at 10pm, between 800 and 900 students gather in the University Chapel for this Mass.
