The University of Lille has accredited 50 platforms, which are organised around 10 themes and made accessible to the academic and private sectors to accelerate tomorrow’s discoveries.

National and international platforms

The platforms are key to positioning the Lille site at the highest international level and strengthening research partnerships with the socio-economic and cultural sectors. They cover all research topic areas in Lille. Many are recognised as facilities of excellence and are involved in national and international networks.

Expertise for the public and private sectors

The platforms provide the expertise of researchers, engineers and technicians in the use of cutting-edge equipment and the provision of services. They also provide access to databases and the computing resources needed to process them.
