Their presence was the opportunity to celebrate together this long standing partnership.


Close ties developed over the years

In 1988 a Lyon delegation went to the USA and met with several internationally recognized institutions. Amongst them, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
What soon came to be known as one of the first international exchange programs was developed then and there when former Chancellor E.K. FRETWELL Junior and Pierre VIALLE, then President of the University Jean Moulin signed an official partnership between both Universities.

What originally started out as a modest exchange program gradually developed into a full-range partnership with strong student exchanges both at the undergraduate and graduate level, with  over 120 students benefiting from an international mobility opportunity in total, and also academic mobility, and many Research collaborations.

iaelyon is proud to celebrate this 30th anniversary. We would like to warmly thank our partner and we are looking forward for many future collaborations.
