  • Virtual World Tour - Destination Europe

     

    The current healthcare crisis is accelerating the transformations of society, our territories and ecosystems that have become so important in recent years. In this context, we can ask ourselves how the innovation ecosystems that have changed our lives are responding to the unprecedented challenges that are accelerating the transformation of the World? Are we at the dawn of a shift towards a new decarbonized, digital and ecological civilization?

     

    3 REGIONS OF THE WORLD - 3 DYNAMICS OF TRANSFORMATION - 3 MEETINGS

    Three days of Study Research Action Webinar that are part of 5 years of research in which 17 key destinations have been explored. The guiding questions of this approach are:

    • How are innovative ecosystems a factor in the competitiveness of continents, countries, regions and cities?

    • How are innovative ecosystems changing today in terms of culture, systems, management and structures?

    • How are the most dynamic innovative ecosystems likely to evolve in the future in the face of today's major global challenges?

    Focal points include: the role of the university-business-administration triangle, startup dynamics, systemic governance, the general interest, monetary policy, artistic avantgarde, collaborative processes, artificial intelligence and data, short-, medium-, and longterm foresight, benchmarking best practices, and the impact of pandemics.

    FROM INNOVATIVE ECOSYSTEMS TO TRANSFORMING ECOSYSTEMS

    After six consecutive years of traveling around the world, exploring the dynamics of the planet's main innovative ecosystems, Michel Saloff-Coste is proposing a virtual and collaborative journey for 2021 to leverage collective and prospective intelligence and disseminate more rapidly the key practices observed on the planet. A journey that foreshadows a hybrid journey for 2022. These three days are part of a "virtual world tour" of innovative ecosystems with a view to building a research and Futur Studies network. This study and reflection trip will mobilize academics, researchers, practitioners, senior civil servants and entrepreneurs.

  • 3rd Mission of UCL during COVID-19 crisis

    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”.

  • LILLE ESP Online Mini-Courses

With this in mind, the LILLE Programs have developed several free educational modules for anyone interested in learning more about the history, culture, art, and innovation of Lille, France.

  • WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL in 2020

    In a similar scheme as « LILLE, EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE » in 2004, Lille will be the « WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL » in 2020.

    This nomination is the result of a competition between cities all around the world, and more particulary, of a final between Lille and Sydney. The aim of being a World design capital for Lille is to be able to transform and to galvanize the metropolitan territory through the use of design.

    In order to achieve this goal, any structure of the MEL (European Metropolis of Lille) can submit a project, called « Proof of Concept » (POC). So far, The Université Catholique de Lille has submitted 13 files, concerning various projects in progress.

    The themes of these POCs contribute to create « the codesign dynamics of a desirable future » within the Université Catholique de Lille.

    They concern the educational innovation, the relationship with the territory, the energy and societal transition, the artistic dimension…

    Synergy is encouraged between POCs of the University as well as links with others POC of the territory.

    In 2020, these projects will be promoted through a program, in the same form as the one for « LILLE 3000 » : communication, exhibitions, visits, courses around different themes).

    The Université Catholique de Lille will actively participate in the program established by Lille World Design Captial, and will also provide a specific program concerning the University. This will promote the outcomes of the POCs, but also integrate events offered by the establishments.
