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

From the start of the Covid-19 epidemic, the entire French research community, from life sciences to human and social sciences, has been working hard to develop effective treatments against the spread of the virus and to assess the social impact of this crisis. Researchers at the Lyon and Saint-Étienne sites are no exception, having carried out many studies on COVID-19.

In light of recent Covid-19 developments, measures have been put in place for the IDEXLYON 2020 projects.

The world health crisis caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and the emergency measures in place in all of our countries mean that all of our ARQUS universities have suspended in-class teaching activities and, in most cases, have temporarily ceased all other face-to-face activities, with our staff and students working and studying from home.

In order to support its students, doctoral students, international researchers on the Lyon Saint-Étienne site, as well as its students on exchange programs abroad, the Université de Lyon offers a page gathering all the information related to incoming and outgoing mobility in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic.

In light of the recent recommendations, we can confirm that the Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and the Université Lumière Lyon 2’s health services will remain open to all students in Lyon. These two health centers have set up a hotline for all Université de Lyon students, regardless of their home institution.
