“I want to pay tribute to Fabienne Blaise for the work done and thank Sophie Tison for ensuring the interim. We will be able to capitalize on the actions already taken to enter a more political and institutional phase of the project that will allow us, in two years, to convince the jury that the creation of the I-site has encouraged the commitment of the partners to a new academic paradigm. We will continue to consolidate and broaden the base of our scientific excellence, to experiment with new training methods, to develop our Euroregional partnerships in order to build the great University that Lille deserves. We will do it hand in hand with our founding members and in the respect of all players in the regional academic space, because we never build anything to the detriment of others! I know that the road ahead is difficult, but I will build on the experience I have gained over the last twenty years to mobilize partners in the service of an ambition, which is above all collective “
