Lille and Polytechnic University Federation (French: Université Catholique de Lille), which also goes by the name Lille Catholic University ("Catho"), is a federation of Catholic-inspired institutions established in 1973. Its history dates back to 1875 when the first of these institutions was created. The Federation comprises five faculties, 20 schools and institutes, research centers, and a hospital, with a cumulative student body of 24,540 in 2012.

History

The year of the Wallon Law of 12 July 1875 freeing up higher education, the Catholic University of Lille was founded by a committee of lay Ultramontanes including Philibert Vrau, "embarrassed" by the absence of such a structure in Lille while public schools were established in Lille since 1854. This was amidst a national debate on secularism before the church-state separation in France.

The Faculty of Medicine was created in 1876 and the College of Theology in 1877. The official inauguration took place on 15 January 1877, upon receipt of the papal bull which gave the Lille Catholic University canonical status.

A new law on 19 March 1880 provided funding for private institutions of higher education, but denied them the use of the term "university". The young "free university" became officially the Lille Catholic Institute. In 1973, Lille and Polytechnic University Federation was created, bringing together some forty private institutions of higher education. Although a section of the Education Code prohibits the use of the term university by private institutions, it is still called Lille Catholic University, in France and abroad.

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was developed during the founding period, the 1870s. It highlights the institution's academic and ecclesial character, the tradition in which it is rooted, and the part played by the two northern provinces in its creation. It has four sections.

  • The first offers a gules field with two keys in saltire: these are the weapons of the ancient Collège Saint-Pierre de Lille and Lille Cathedral, which represented the university's origins and union with the Chair of Peter.
  • The second section is an ermine field with open book, distinguishing symbols of the science doctorate.
  • The third section represents the Lion of Flanders.
  • The fourth is a recent change, the starry flag of the European Union.

In 2014, the research activity of the Catholic University of Lille included nearly 440 teachers and researchers and 130 doctoral students (enrolled in the PhD Doctoral Schools Public University), which corresponds approximately to 240 ETP research. This workforce is spread over fifty research units in disciplines as diverse as nanoscience, psychology, economics, law, or theology. Some Catho research units are labeled and carried under joint supervision with public universities. These are of two mixed units: CNRS (LEM - UMR 8179, IEMN - UMR 8520) and two host teams (EA - LGCgE, EA - L2EP). There is also a Clinical Research Center. And the medical school maintains a center for Economic Geology, Jardin botanique Nicolas Boulay.

For about ten years, Lille Catholic University institutions worked at structuring and strengthening their research activity. At the federation level, this focused on the organization of research, with the appointment of a Vice-president for Research â€" Cailliez Jean-Charles (2003-2012) and Nicolas Vaillant (2012 - ) â€" and the creation of a research council of the University. This organization induced structuring of research areas covered by the centers and the faculty of the federation, fostering the emergence of major cross-cutting themes. They share concern for the betterment of life in contemporary society: responsibilities and risks; ethics, care, and loss of autonomy; energy, housing, environment, and sustainable development; innovation, collective intelligence, and new human interactions.

Associations

Student Federation

The Federation of Lille Catholic University students (or FEUCL) created in 1926 coordinates the 300 campus organizations and represents 17,000 students in the assemblies of Catho at CROUS or FAGE.

Association of University Support

The Association of University Support (AEU) manages 10 residences and Meurein restaurant serving 5000 meals a day, lunch and dinner. In addition, the Meurein restaurant has a cafeteria open to students and teachers most of the day. The AEU has been created and is administered by the FEUCL.

Internal associations in schools and faculties

Most schools and faculties have a student office (BDE) or a corporation that deals with both solidarity and culture. BDE and corporations represent their school or faculty to FEUCL. For example, ACEM (Corporate Association of Medical Students), created in 1910, lays claim to being the oldest French student corporation. In addition to the BDE and corporations, schools and faculties of Catho include associations for sports and for humanitarian, cultural, and festive events.

Activities

Students have access to sports activities through the center of Ennetières-en-Weppes of Catho or the gyms of the AEU. The university also has a cultural facility that arranges lectures, public debates, special meetings, and cultural exhibits. One of the buildings also houses a showroom. In addition to the restaurant Meurein, there's a sandwich shop, Vauban. Also, the bars and clubs of Lille, in particular in the Massena district and Henninot room, almost daily receive student parties organized by the BDE or other associations.

Housing

The AEU maintains 10 residences for students. Many students live together in the Vauban quarter or the Old Lille, giving that area of the Catho a high concentration of students and low median age.
