UNIVERSITY CLIMATE CONVENTION

The University Climate Convention is an “active learning” program aligned with the Paris Agreement and the Convention for the Transition of Higher Education Institutions.
As a signatory to the Grenoble Agreement and, with the European Metropolis of Lille (MEL), committed to the goal of zero carbon by 2050, the Université Catholique de Lille offers training and education regarding climate issues


Joining the University Climate Convention means:

  • Acting on behalf of the climate
  • Learning about the ecological and climate transition and take ownership of the issues
  • Participating in the development and implementation of solutions

For three months, 100 students and 50 staff members from across the University and its varied establishments are taking part in an unprecedented program of training and collective workshops aimed at reducing carbon impact and personal lifestyle reconsiderations.

Participants learn about global climate and energy issues, examine the University's carbon footprint and its various emission sources, and imagine solutions for the future. These will be presented to a jury of experts and decision-makers at the concluding session to be held on 6 December 2022 at the regional council office.

Program dates: 13 and 20 October, 10, 17 and 24 November, 1 and 6 December, from 3 pm to 6 pm.

    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.
