Towards an Energy Community at the LIEGE science park
21 companies and ULiège are studying the possibility of setting up an energy community at the LIEGE science park, in a pioneering approach based on the willingness of players to work together.
As a public university open to the world and is anchored in the scientific, cultural and economic development of its region, the University of Liège relies on its three pillars: teaching, research and civic engagement.
ULiège trains responsible citizens who are provided with cutting-edge knowledge and critical thinking, are able to share knowledge and can push forward an increasingly complex world.
ULiège develops and promotes excellence in research, multidisciplinary and direct engagement with its instruction.
Global exposure is a top priority at the University of Liège. The institution offers a wide range of international mobility opportunities to students, researchers and staff, enabling them to enhance their cross-disciplinary skills and language knowledge.
ULiège: an experience of daily living. Located in 3 cities and 4 campuses, the university is a key player in terms of the environment and mobility.
On the occasion of the Start of the Academic Year at ULiège, three academic personalities will receive honorary doctoral degrees on Tuesday 19th September 2023*.
Astrophysicist and philosopher, poet, awareness-raiser for the protection of our planet
Economist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics, whose work focuses on development economics, poverty, health, education, access to credit and the fight against corruption
South African photographer and activist, campaigner for the LGBTQIA+ cause.
For Rector Anne-Sophie Nyssen, the choice of these personalities is motivated by the desire to "reconcile Art and Science and to commit to re-enchanting our world".
She explains: "This century must once again bring together Art and Science - which for a long time were one and the same - to achieve the civilisational metamorphosis that will have to profoundly change our perceptions of the world and re-enchant it, as well as enabling the environmental and social transition that is vital to our survival".
"Art and science are essentially about us and our future. Reason and emotion, aesthetics and ethics, they structure the fundamental ways in which we perceive, feel and think about the world. Some artists and scientists have the talent to draw from this intimate coherence a commitment whose strength, clarity and sincerity arouse respect, even admiration. This is the case for the three personalities that the University of Liège will be honouring on 19 September.
The title of Doctor honoris causa is conferred by the Academic Council, which brings together all the professors who are members of the ULiège. Its decisions require a 2/3 majority.
