The Université de Lyon is a world-class academic site of excellence

In conjunction with the Entretiens Jacques Cartier, which were held from November 4 to 6, 2019, the Université de Lyon and the University of Ottawa renewed their partnership by amending the framework agreement which they signed five years ago.

On November 14, 2019, the Université de Lyon and the Kuwaiti Embassy’s Cultural Office in France signed a collaboration framework agreement.

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.

Since its launch in 2015, the Université de Lyon's anti-plagiarism campaign, entitled “Fantastic plagiarists and how to spot them”, has been a great success amongst the university community. Thanks to this guide on how to prevent plagiarism, students, university staff, and even the professors, researchers and administrative staff, have no excuses for misquoting their sources!

As part of its CURSUS+ project, winner of the French National Research Agency’s call for “New university programs” projects, the Université de Lyon is organizing a three-year series of lectures called “Student Successes”. The first lecture, “New university admission support schemes”, will take place on Thursday 9 January, 2020, from 2 PM to 5 PM, at the French Institute of Education (Institut français de l’éducation - IFÉ) premises at the ENS de Lyon.

As part of IDEXLYON, five projects were announced as the winners of the Scientific Breakthrough Program call for projects, for amounts of up to 1.2 million euros per project.
