Understanding our organisation

The central level is the guarantor of commonality:

• designing the university strategy in consultation with the member schools, faculties and institutes and member institutions,
• and developing the support capabilities they require to implement it.

Strengthened by the size of the university and benefitting from the diversity that is to be found there, it must define and embody a common vision, promote synergies and ensure a coherent overall dynamic.

The President is responsible for overseeing the governance of the University of Lille.

He is assisted by:

• the Management Committee,
• central councils (Governing Council, Scientific Council, Study and University Life Council) and,
• councils of member schools, faculties and institutes and governing councils of member institutions (within the limits set out in the university’s statutes).

The management of the University of Lille is ensured through their decisions, deliberations, proposals and opinions.

The member schools, faculties and institutes and member institutions are at the centre of teaching activities and, through their association with research units, the institution’s scientific policy. They implement the university’s strategy in accordance with their own disciplinary and organisational specificities, with support at the centralised level.They also develop their own projects in line with the common strategy.
