Lille I, II, and III, Universities of

French  Universités De Lille I, Ii, Et Iii,  

      coeducational, autonomous, state-financed institutions of higher learning at Lille, in northern France; they were founded in 1970 under the 1968 law reforming French higher education, to replace the former University of Lille, founded in 1560 at Douai and suppressed by the French Revolution. After the Revolution faculties of letters, medicine, and other fields were established in Lille and Douai. They were all transferred to Lille in 1887 and were reconstituted as a university in 1896. Louis Pasteur was dean of the university's science faculty from 1854 to 1857. Pasteur began his studies of fermentation at Lille.

      Lille I specializes in science and technology; Lille II, law and health sciences (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, physical education); Lille III, human sciences, literature, and arts (history, languages and letters, philosophy and psychology). Within the separate universities, teaching and research are organized into separate units, each enjoying academic and administrative independence.
