Distinction

From April 15th to 19th, 2024, the Université Catholique de Lille had the pleasure of welcoming about 50 colleagues from partner universities, representing 20 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, for a week of training as part of the #Erasmus program!

This week, dedicated to universities' commitment to environmental transitions and pedagogical innovation, facilitated the sharing of good practices and exchanges around various strategic projects. Student involvement, which represents a major challenge for all universities, was also highlighted during this edition.

Throughout the week, our colleagues were invited to participate in various activities such as conferences, campus tours focused on sustainable development and collaborative workshops.

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.
