Lille Capitale Mondiale du Design en 2020

04 December 2019

Dans un schéma similaire à celui de Lille capitale européenne de la culture en 2004, Lille sera capitale mondiale du design en 2020. Cette nomination est le fruit d’une compétition entre métropoles mondiales, et plus particulièrement d’une finale Lille-Sydney. L’enjeu d’être capitale mondiale du design pour Lille est de transformer et dynamiser le territoire métropolitain à travers l’utilisation du design.

Pour cela, toute organisation de la MEL peut déposer un projet, appelé « Proof of concept » (POC). L'Université Catholique de Lille en a déposé 13 regroupant différents chantiers en cours. Les thèmes de ces POC contribuent à créer, au sein, de l’Université, « les dynamiques de codesign d’un futur souhaitable ». Ils concernent l’innovation pédagogique, la relation avec le territoire, la transition énergétique et sociétale, la dimension artistique… Des synergies entre POC de l’Université sont encouragées, ainsi que des liens avec d’autres POC du territoire.  

En 2020, ces projets seront valorisés à travers une programmation, dans la même dimension que celle de Lille 3000 (communication, expositions, visites, parcours autour de différentes thématiques). 
L'Université Catholique de Lille participera activement à la programmation organisée par Lille Capitale Mondiale du design, et prévoit également une programmation propre à l’Université. Celle-ci permettra de valoriser les productions issues des POC, mais également d’intégrer des événements proposés par les établissements.

    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.
