About campus life

Since 2017, the Université de Lyon has been involved in developing a cultural policy for all its sites. The aim of this policy is to raise awareness of the educational and cultural programs that each institution has to offer, and to host ambitious events involving several Université de Lyon institutions as well as local cultural partners.
