Lille University of Science and Technology
Lille University of Science and Technology: a resource for observing global changes and their consequences, thinking about and making the ecological transition a reality.
An open-air laboratory for the ecological conversion with a strong political drive to move forward, the University has chosen to create a place for jointly building sustainable development projects and ensuring their overall coherence: the PACTE - Thinking, Acting, and Building the Ecological Transition.
More than a university, the university is more like a city implanted in Villeneuve d'Ascq: 25,000 visitors per day, 110 hectares, 140 buildings with different uses (housing, laboratories, food services, etc.) and 70 km of urban networks (water, sewage, district heating, gas, electricity, public lighting, roads, and more). A city that is also a place of learning and citizenship for historical, cultural and intellectual reasons. The Science City campus is the perfect size to house a project that brings together several research and teaching demonstrators, serving as a replica of the city in transition: energy efficient, livable and sustainable.
The University of Lille, a European university of reference
The University of Lille emerged from the shared desire of the three universities in Lille to develop a European-level university of reference, one that is recognized for its world-class research, its excellence and its innovation in training throughout life. The merger of three universities on January 1 2018 will be the opportunity to meet new international challenges in research and strengthen the excellence of our campus at the regional, national and international levels.
