Jean Moulin Lyon 3 University and emlyon Business School join the College founded 10 years ago. The Collège des Hautes Études Lyon Sciences is expanding and strengthening its logic of hybridization, welcoming a university and a grande école, bringing internationally
recognized expertise and know-how.
A historic step accompanied by a new dynamic
This historic step for the College and for the Lyon-Saint-Étienne site is accompanied by a
new dynamic: training active minds, conscious citizens, and professionals capable
of facing the major transitions that present themselves as challenges to be met in
climatic, environmental, digital, cultural, social, and democratic matters. These multiple
upheavals currently at work are testing our societies and require moving beyond traditional
academic boundaries to design a “mission-based” educational offering, founded on
new, unprecedented, fruitful, and original approaches, with a purpose increasingly demanded by
students.
The eight member institutions will now pool their educational resources
and scientific expertise to build:
- a year of initial training, specifically dedicated to the challenges of ecological transition. The objective of this training year, after an immersion in the social issues related to transitions, is to have students work in transdisciplinary teams on subjects proposed by companies or local authorities. As questions related to transitions are of great interest to students of the member institutions, the project is being co-constructed with them. The goal is to offer this new training program for the 2024 academic year.
- lifelong learning modules for high-level executives in companies and public services. The objective is to train them in foresight and decision-making to accelerate the integration of transitions into organizational strategy. The first modules will be operational in the first half of 2024.
- a series of scientific seminars on social challenges related to issues of interest to companies and public actors. These seminars may lead to the publication of White Papers.
About the Collège des Hautes Études Lyon Sciences
Created in 2014 by six member schools of the University of Lyon (École Centrale de Lyon, École normale supérieure de Lyon, Mines Saint-Étienne, Sciences Po Lyon, VetAgro Sup, and the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse de Lyon), the Collège des Hautes Études Lyon Sciences (CHEL[s]) was born from the desire to offer students extraordinary, decompartmentalized training beyond traditional disciplinary fields. For ten years, it has been a success.
