History
Founded as University of Douai in 1562, the university was renamed Université impériale de Douai-Lille in 1808, then as Université de Lille with faculty expansion in the Lille region from mid-19th century onwards.[1]
- The roots of the faculties in law and humanities date back from the 16th century;
- The school of medicine and university hospital expanded rapidly from end-18th century;
- Research and education in mechanical engineering and chemistry expanded from the early 19th century;
- The faculty of sciences was set up in 1854 by bringing together different university-grade schools in Lille city centre;
- Research and education in control sciences and information technologies were set up in 1957;
- Research in fundamental physics, micro-electronics, molecular engineering and bio-technologies started in the 1980s.
The university expanded into several campus and formed several universities/institutions in Lille region and North at the end of the 20th century.
Finally the universities and institutions came together as the Université Lille Nord de France; and after as the Community of Universities and Institutions (COMUE) Lille Nord de France.
It is labeled I-Site (Initiatives Science-Innovation-Territories-Economy) in 2017 by the French government. It benefits from an allocation of 500 million euros for its project « Université Lille Nord-Europe (ULNE) » which aims to classify it in the top 50 universities of Europe.
