Partner: Artois University

General profile of the institution (education – research – service to society)  

The University of Artois (henceforth Artois) has a student population of almost 12,500 within its 5 campuses in the Hauts de France region. The campuses are Arras (Human Sciences), Béthune (Applied Sciences), Douai (Law), Lens (Sciences and Tertiary Sector) and Liévin (Sports). Each campus is located in a medium-sized city (between 25,000 and 40,000 inhabitants). 

Artois has 500 administrative staff (66% of women) and 609 teaching staff (43% of women).

Since its beginnings in 1992, Artois has established itself as a major contributor to local development, social mobility and professional education. We are a modern and dynamic institution which is in perfect harmony with the educational system, offering innovative teaching and combining the acquisition of knowledge with vocational skills. 

A policy of international openness: 

Artois has always pursued a policy of international openness. Partnerships (over 250) have been consolidated with various universities and research centers worldwide in the form of bilateral agreements, exchange programs, blended intensive programs double degrees, and cotutelles doctorates. 
Artois is a member of EURAXESS France Network, a European initiative that supports the mobility of international researchers. and has also been awarded the « Bienvenue en France » (welcome to France) label by the Ministry of Higher Education. 

Experience in (setting up) course management systems for virtual campus (Moodle) 

The Moodle LMS was made available to our staff in 2010, with increasing usage over time and a multiplied interest during the health crisis. This year, we have counted 896 teachers who have proposed at least one course. Currently, 4,218 courses are online and concern a little over 10,000 students in total. 

Until 2016, we offered annual training workshops at each of the university's sites. As teachers gradually took ownership of the platform, these workshops were progressively replaced by tutorials, individualized support, or on-demand training, which are more appropriate and appreciated. 

At the request of teachers or initiated by educational engineers, various plugins have been installed. Among the most popular are Group choice (group work), Zoom meeting (video conferencing), appointments (making an appointment with a teacher), Wooclap (online quiz), compilatio (anti-plagiarism), and H5P (formatting). Also, note a very strong use of assignments and tests (native plugins in the platform). 

Using Moodle, we offer 7 entirely remote degree programs, including several Master 1 and 2 programs. These programs offer approximately 150 courses for a little over 500 students each year. 
We set up a web TV in 2014 (https://artoistv.univ-artois.fr), which allows teachers to upload videos for pedagogical or research purposes. It also includes videos from students submitted as part of their studies. To date, almost 3,000 videos are online, with around 1,500 being broadcast privately for Moodle use. 

We have recently implemented an automatic subtitling system, currently only available in French. 

Finally, the Zoom platform, acquired during the health crisis, remains widely used for colloquiums and research seminars, with the possibility of subtitling in many languages. 
 
The university offers a wide spectrum of courses, both in Initial and Further Education. Courses are well-balanced and in line with the European LMD (Undergraduate, Masters, and Doctoral studies).

More details on some key areas:  
 
Artificial intelligence 
The research at CRIL deals with the design of autonomous intelligent systems. 
Depending on the information available, such systems should be able to take reasonable decisions to reach given goals. To do so, some form of reasoning is needed. The main difficulties to be solved to realize such systems are diverse. 
First, the information to be exploited must be acquired. It can be learned from various types of data (descriptions of situations or scenarios, examples of use cases, operating traces and so on.) but also transmitted by different sources or agents with which the system under consideration interacts. Taking these sources into account requires the ability to synthesize, aggregate and reformulate the processed information in order to be able to exchange it and transmit the results (decisions, predictions, recommendations, and actions to be taken) to the users (other agents, human or not) in an appropriate form. It is also necessary to be able to make this information evolve and to manage its dynamics, in particular when conflicts appear. 
The available information is usually heterogeneous and imperfect. It typically includes knowledge transferred or extracted from data, beliefs about the state of the world in which the intelligent system evolves (e.g: physics law, but also data gathered from more or less reliable sensors). It contains the information about the other agents found in that world, the description of available actions and their effects, the preferences of the agents on the state of the world or the actions to perform. The imperfection of available information has several facets (which are correlated): incompleteness, uncertainty, inconsistency, contextuality, among others. In all cases, it is necessary to define models adapted to these different types of information, but also to design and analyze information representation formalisms that are appropriate to the targeted tasks. 
The kind of inference necessary to simulate an “intelligent” behavior are multiple and must be modeled. It is also necessary to be able to explain the reasoning that is carried out, to justify given decisions and to evaluate their robustness. Finally, a last source of difficulty to integrate is linked to the computer: the inference and decision making processes considered are often sophisticated and computationally intractable in the worst case. It is therefore important to identify the sources of complexity involved in order to overcome them as best as possible, by developing efficient algorithms in practice, or by developing methods such as approximation or compilation that can sometimes avoid this computational difficulty. 
In order to address these challenges, CRIL organizes its activities along three main and interconnected axes: data, knowledge, and constraints. 
  
Civil Engineering and Geo-Environment 
The Laboratory of Civil Engineering and geo-Environment (LGCgE) was created in 2010 with the aim of bringing together regional research potential in the field of geo-materials, civil engineering, building and geo-environment. The main goal is to meet the challenges of exploring new civil engineering materials, deep understanding of soils and environment problems, sustainable construction, the protection of natural resources and the management of industrial sites. 
The LGCgE is headed by the Artois University, the University of Lille, IMT-Nord Europe and Junia. Organized into 5 research teams, the laboratory has more than 200 members. In order to reinforce the inter-team cooperation, the laboratory has created two transversal operations respectively on "Materials" and "City". These operations aim to consolidate existing cooperation and explore new cooperation. 
The main activities of LGCgE range from geo-materials (important constituents of infrastructures) to buildings. The whole leads to the city of tomorrow and takes into account the related environmental aspects. These latest emerging topics respond to the problems linked to soil, water and air pollution. Experimental and theoretical means are also available. These two major components are complemented by research on housing and the smart city to form a united whole in a laboratory of civil engineering and geo-environment. 
 
Electrical Engineering 
The research conducted at the Laboratory of Electrotechnical Systems and Environment (LSEE) focuses on the environmental efficiency of rotating electrical machines and transformers. In other words, the researchers at the laboratory design more efficient electromagnetic components that are constrained by their applications and accepted in their environment. A good example is an electric actuator embedded in an aircraft: it needs to be lightweight, reliable, and powerful. 
Thus, the team works together on two closely related pathways: 
1. The design of efficient and silent electrical machines. This efficiency research relies, for example, on the use of high-performance electrical steels and the dimensioning of specific machines by developing original methods. 
2. Structural reliability with the detection of aging-related faults or the improvement of Electrical Insulation Systems (EIS). The researchers implement breakthrough materials or develop original models to understand the complex phenomena that occur within the windings. 
These two themes converge on the common goal of designing machines capable of withstanding extreme internal temperatures. 
A strong and historical identity of LSEE lies in the systematic validation through experimentation. The testing facilities are renowned and contribute to the laboratory's strong appeal. 
 
Logistics 
The LGI2A laboratory (Laboratory of Computer Engineering and Automation of Artois) is a host team of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research (UR 3926). It currently is composed of more than fifteen research lecturers within a single "Decision support" team. This team revolves around two major scientific themes : Optimization of Complex Systems, Uncertainty management.  
Our laboratory's flagship applications focus on sustainable logistics and mobility.  
Applications areas : Smart Mobility, Sustainable logistics, decision and information fusion (DFI theme), OptiSCo theme (methods for solving notoriously difficult and often combinatorial problems encountered in logistics systems). 
 
Biology 
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is localised at the brain microvessel level and isolates the brain from the whole body. This barrier represents an obstacle to deliver drugs into the central nervous system. Therefore there is a real need to better understand this barrier to treat neurodegenerative diseases.  
Our laboratory has been investigating BBB for at least 30 years by developping in vitro models using animal but also human cells. With these in vitro models, we study BBB physiology in normal and pathological conditions. We also aim to better understand molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in drugs passage across the BBB in order to improve diagnostic or therapy for neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease, etc  
Currently, the laboratory is composed of 9 researchers, 8 technical members and students/post-doc. Among our different in vitro models, we developped and patented a human BBB model consisting to cultivate CD34+-derived endothelial cells with brain pericytes. We also develop human models based on iPSCs. The technical platform (SMART platform, with 2 mass spectrometers) allowing us to measure drug/molecule passage across the BBB. 
The BBB-Lab was involved in several national and european projects. We have participated in 2 FP7 2008-2013 : EUSTROkE, focusing on stroke, and PREDICT IV, aiming to develop in vitro models to assess drug toxicity. We also were involved in the european project ACUTETOX, for predicting the neurotoxicity of chemicals in the frame of the REACH legislation. 
We are currently involved in these following projects : BtRAIN, SNOWBALL, DIASYN, In3, NanoStem, CNS Antidote, MAGBBRIS & NINTARMAL. 
 
Agro-food 
The Transborder Joint Research Unit BioEcoAgro is a new structure created in January 2020, bringing together approximately 300 researchers and technicians from both sides of the Franco-Belgian border, including those from the regional biotechnology and agri-food research laboratory, the Charles Viollette Institute, on the French side. Its ambition is to develop an international center of excellence in the field of applied biological engineering for agriculture, biotechnology, agri-food, and the environment.  
This research unit is divided into 3 main thematic areas, each comprising 3 research teams. The "Structure-Function Relationship for Rational Formulation of Ingredients and Food" (FRAI) team belongs to Theme 3, "Formulation - Food Quality and Safety - Nutrition - Health."  
This multi-site team brings together researchers from the University of Artois, the University of Littoral Côte d'Opale, JUNIA-ISA Lille, and the University of Liège (Gembloux AgroBioTech). The team based in Arras consists of about ten individuals, including 3 professors, 2 assistant professors, a research engineer, a secretary, and doctoral students who are hosted at the ADRIANOR agri-food technical center located in the ZI Est in Tilloy-les-Mofflaines.  
Our approach, implemented in Arras, Boulogne-sur-Mer, and Lille, consists of considering the entire life cycle of a food product, from the raw materials used in its production to its consumption. This approach combines scientific expertise in fundamental research (such as determining the secondary and tertiary structure of proteins) with applied research (such as sensory evaluation of products) to analyze and investigate the various physicochemical mechanisms governing the evolution of the organoleptic, textural, and nutritional qualities of food. Therefore, our research activities revolve around three axes, which, through an integrated and rational approach, enable the development of high-value-added food products. 
Axis 1: Variability of raw materials and their sources 
Axis 2: Techno-functional ingredients: structure-function relationship 
Axis 3: Impact of formulation, manufacturing processes, and storage conditions on food quality 
The applied research conducted within these three axes allows us to meet the needs of agri-food industry professionals with whom we collaborate at both the regional and national, and even international levels. Likewise, through these axes, the FRAI team is involved in several regional, national, and international research projects, some with a more fundamental aspect. 
 
Sports and Physical Activities 
The approach adopted by the SHERPAS Lab since its foundation in 2002 promotes dialogue between disciplines of socio-logy, history, psychology and physiology, and respect for eachother’s academic practices. These scientific approaches shape the identity of the SHERPAS Lab and place it at the intersection of science and technology of physical sports activities and social sciences. For a quarter of a century, the lab has been committed to studying sports as a scientific topic as well as a social construct. In 2018 a new scientific program was launched, with the goal to interpret the use of the body in the context of physical and sports activities (PSA) and of physical and sports education (PSE), within the framework of the reconstruction and disintegration of social belonging. Our studies aim to examine whether PSA and PSE affect the construction or the consistency of the recognition and protection of the personal and social identities and if so, to what extent. We study these relationships from the opposite perspective: we also seek to know how the isolation of individuals, the threatened cohesion of society, and the decline of institutions can influencethe APS and the EPS. During our research carried out in various contexts and fields, the focus shifted to situations where physical, social, economic, psychological vulnerabilities are detectable. Through adopting multidisciplinary scientific approaches, the conscious use of materials and measures, and being aware of the limitations of these research tools, the lab members carry out high quality research of vulnerabilities. This program is completely in line with the third strategic pillar of Artois University. 
 
Applied Economics 
The LEM (Laboratory of Economics and Management) is a Joint Research Unit (No. 9221) that brings together the CNRS, the University of Lille, and the IESEG School of Management, with partner institutions being the University of Artois and the University of Littoral-Côte d'Opale. 
The research conducted within the LEM is inherently multidisciplinary. It encompasses both theoretical and applied aspects, and the members of the LEM address requests from economic and social environments. The research conducted at the LEM often addresses important societal issues, as evidenced by our collaborations with the National Research Agency (ANR), the National Cancer Institute (INCA), the Court of Auditors, the European Metropolis of Lille (MEL), among other partners. 
the LEM is a young and dynamic laboratory with a strong scientific ambition and a marked international vocation. The quality of the work carried out by LEM researchers has been recognized, with the unit receiving an evaluation by HCERES designating it as "one of the top units in economics and management in France," and its scientific output being noted as "excellent". 
 
Artois advocates open access to research and scientific knowledge. This involves sharing research findings, data, methodologies, and other research outputs with the broader scientific community and society at large. This allows researchers, students, policymakers, and the public to access, use, and build upon scientific knowledge, leading to increased visibility, impact, and potential for societal benefits.  
Aligned with the current national and European political landscape, Artois has taken a proactive approach in implementing an institutional policy that embraces Open Science. As a result, a dedicated steering committee for Open Science was established in 2022. Aware of its responsibility, Artois is fully committed to the Open Science movement and wishes to support the entire scientific community and users in this process.      
Service to society: 
There are many ways in which Artois contributes positively to the broader community. Our ambition is to to apply the expertise and resources of the university to address social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues, and to make a positive impact on the well-being and development of society as a whole. Below are a few examples to illustrate our dedication to serving society. (Other actions will be mentioned later in this questionnaire) 

Artois and Vivalley Campus 
Artois, a partner of Vivalley Campus led by the Lens-Liévin Agglomeration Community and located at the heart of the sports excellence hub in Liévin, the Vivalley Campus positions the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education of Liévin at the core of its ecosystem. Vivalley Campus is a competitiveness cluster in the field of sports, health, and well-being. It brings together businesses, higher education institutions, and research organizations on the same territory, with the aim of working synergistically to implement projects for economic development through innovation. The training programs offered by the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education of Liévin, focused mainly on education, motor skills, sports training, and adapted physical activities for health, attract more than a thousand students. Throughout their academic journey, ranging from Bachelor's to Doctoral level, students acquire solid knowledge and skills in teaching physical activities to various audiences, as well as in project engineering and design. 
The connections established with the companies at Vivalley Campus provide students with opportunities for internships and apprenticeships. Conversely, this partnership offers short-term training programs tailored to the needs of Vivalley Campus companies and professionals. It can also lead to research contracts with the faculty's researchers who are members of the "SHERPAS" laboratory. This laboratory conducts research in sociological, psychological, physiological, and historical aspects of physical and sports activities. Applied research contracts or action research projects are carried out to address various social demands from the business, non-profit, and public sectors, focusing on health, integration, inclusion, and motor performance. 
 
Life-long learning   
Each year, the Continuing Education Service of the University of Artois (FCU Artois) trains over 2000 adult learners, including apprentices, employees on training leave, active employees in companies, job seekers, and individuals under judicial supervision (prisoners). 
The close relationships maintained with local, regional, and national economic actors allow Artois to establish cooperative agreements in the field of continuing education to meet the skills demands of companies. For example, the IUT of Béthune established an on-site training program at Air France five years ago for employees of the airline in the networks and telecommunications domain. More recently, there has been a training program in Agroproduction Chemistry with Roquette Frères. 
Finally, as part of the institution's contribution to economic and social development, FCU implements university diplomas (DU), often initiated by economic or institutional partners. In recent years, several diplomas have been established, including a DU in Chinese language and culture in collaboration with the Regional Council of HDF, ethics of AI, a DU in Agroproduction Chemistry, and a DU in Medical-Social Assistant Secretary, which validates the professional title of medical secretary. 

European Humanities University

The European Humanities University (EHU) is a distinctive institution that originally started in Minsk, Belarus, in 1992. It was founded to foster critical thinking, openness, and personal responsibility among its students, with the goal of educating a new generation of young professionals capable of leading Belarus toward democracy. EHU was the first private undergraduate and postgraduate university in Belarus. However, due to political pressure, the university was forced to close its operations in Belarus in 2004 and subsequently reestablished itself in Lithuania with support from the Lithuanian government, the European Commission, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and various European countries and international foundations.

Since relocating to Vilnius, Lithuania, EHU has operated as a private Lithuanian university, with its campus located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Vilnius Old Town, in the premises of a former late 18th-century Augustinian monastery. The university offers a liberal arts education and is fully integrated into the vibrant life of the Lithuanian capital. EHU provides undergraduate, graduate, and PhD programs in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and arts, with most programs being instructed in Russian and English. The university emphasizes a transdisciplinary approach and critical thinking skills that enable students to develop innovative solutions, ideas, and enterprises. 
EHU is committed to academic freedom and serves as a haven for students and scholars from Belarus, being the only Belarusian university that operates in a free and democratic environment. The institution is involved in the Bologna process and ensures that its degrees are recognized within the European Union. EHU also participates in various mobility programs like Erasmus+ and Campus Europae, allowing students to experience education and life across Europe.

Notable is EHU's support for civic engagement and the development of innovative solutions through hands-on learning opportunities. Students at EHU engage in practical experiences such as participating in the Election Observation: Theory and Practice program, practicing legal skills in moot court competitions and developing projects of their own. This hands-on approach is complemented by the university's commitment to fostering international and interdisciplinary research and teaching through its faculty who are leaders in academic projects.

Educational Methodology: From Theory to Practice 
 
The "From Theory to Practice" educational model employed by the IBC-M college is a comprehensive approach that guides students through a learning journey, starting from the Conceptualisation phase, where explicit knowledge is processed through theoretical learning. This phase lays a solid foundation of understanding, providing students with the necessary information and frameworks.  
Following this, students transition into the Experimentation phase, where the conceptual knowledge they've acquired becomes grounded. This is a critical step as it allows students to apply their theoretical understanding in controlled settings, helping to bridge the gap between theory and practice.  
Next is the Experience phase, which provides students with the opportunity to put their tacit knowledge to the test in real-world scenarios. This practical application not only reinforces the tacit knowledge gained from experimentation but also enhances their skills and confidence in their abilities.  
In the end, the Reflection phase allows students to bring their inherent tacit knowledge to the surface, encouraging them to think critically about their experiences, draw connections, and internalise the learning. This holistic approach ensures that students are not just passively receiving information but are actively engaged in their learning journey, translating theoretical knowledge into practical skills.

Partner: Technical University of Liberec

The Technical University of Liberec (TUL) is a dynamic university of medium size that joins forms of technical and university education.

We are the only university in the Liberec Region. We have seven faculties and one professional institute. Despite the name, we do not only focus on technical fields, but we also educate economists, teachers, architects and other experts. We work with approximately 200 similarly focused institutions around the world. Our university was founded in 1953 under the name of the University of Mechanical Engineering in Liberec, originally with the aim of educating qualified engineers for the local industry. Gradually, our scope expanded, the number of fields and faculties increased, which in 1995 led to the renaming of the Technical University of Liberec.

The Technical University of Liberec reaches excellent results in the fields of science and research. Let us mention the world-wide unique discovery of industrial manufacturing technology of nano-textiles – the Nanospider. These results, well-known to the public, only increase the reputation of TUL. The Technical University of Liberec can also be proud of its good social, cultural and sports background. Only a few universities can offer such broad sporting possibilities. The University Sports Complex is available, in addition to the excellent facilities and public transportation in Liberec, and its surroundings, for summer and winter sports. As one of the few universities in the Czech Republic, TUL can satisfy all demands of accommodation in modern halls of residence.

The Czech Republic is located in Central Europe. It is surrounded by Germany to the northwest, Poland to the northeast, Slovakia to the southeast and Austria to the south. It has no coastline. The Czech Republic consists of three main parts: Czech Lands (or Bohemia) to the west, Moravia to the southeast and Silesia to the northeast. The capital, Prague, is located slightly to the northwest. The Technical University in Liberec is about 100 kilometres to the north of Prague.

There is perhaps only one place in the world where it takes only 15 minutes by tram to transport yourself from a natural ski resort to a magnificent, traditional theatre. A city where it takes just a few moments to swap a unique mountain hotel for a tropical glasshouse filled with orchids. A city that gave the world one of the most famous car constructors in history. A city on the outskirts of which a traditional cross-country skiing race is held, one of the biggest in Europe. This is Liberec, our town.

Quality Assurance

Policy

Quality at EPHEC is seen as the added value of the skills developed by graduate students over and above the skills they had when registering at EPHEC. It is also reflected in the student's contributions in terms of social responsibility. The internal quality management system is organised in line with EPHEC's strategic plan, through a procedure for defining, evaluating and implementing annual objectives. Quality thus flows directly from the strategic plan, and its results feed into it. Our quality management system aims to develop a robust quality culture. The desire for continuous improvement is omnipresent in the practices of our community, at all levels, reflecting a shared vision of the quality culture. The involvement of external stakeholders is frequently sought, motivated by a strong desire to meet the needs of the professional world while working to ensure the long-term employability of our students.

Implementation

The actions that the EPHEC puts in place to ensure quality include :

• Regular evaluations of teaching by students;
• Follow-up evaluations of graduates 1 and 5 years after graduation to gather data on their integration into the working firel and their opinion on the relevance of their studies to their professional lives;
• Advisory councils bringing together professionals from the sectors targeted by the various degrees;
• Biennial professional development interviews for members of faculty and staff;
• Regular satisfaction, motivation and commitment surveys among staff and students.

Stakeholders

"All players, all beneficiaries": this philosophy, which defines quality management at EPHEC, reflects the desire to see quality as an institutional concern in which all parties are involved. We make sure to:

• contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of teaching and learning;
• respond to requests from AEQES and provide methodological support;
• design and implement the methodology for evaluating autonomously the quality of the programmes;
• support the visibility and traceability of the continuous improvement actions carried out within EPHEC;
• provide methodological support and documentation for the executive board in establishing its vision, strategy and continuous improvement.

Sustainability

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland Report). 

EPHEC is convinced that by integrating the values of corporate responsibility and sustainability in its teaching, research and governance, it will open doors for a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow. 

To this end, EPHEC is committed to the United Nations Global Sustainable Goals and all bachelor degrees include courses and practical cases encouraging students to reflect on and contribute to solutions for local and / or global problems. 

Moreover, a dedicated committee (composed of students, teachers and staff members) was brought to life in 2020, as well as the position of ‘Sustainable Development Coordinator’ in our staff. 

Finally, various projects have been integrated in our bachelor degrees. 

• In the Bachelor in Accounting, students take part in a workshop on how to make a given company's model of a given company more circular using the collective intelligence tool offered by CIRCULAB
