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.
It is in the category "Best MOOC designed by a University" that ULiège's MOOC was awarded in Paris in the presence of 150 actors from the e-learning world. A superb international recognition for the ULiège MOOCs team!
The MOOC – “La Fabrique de l'aide internationale” was awarded the prize for "Best MOOC designed by a University" at the MOOC of the Year evening organised in Paris on 27 February 2020 in the presence of 150 actors from the world of e-learning.
The MOOC- “La Fabrique de l'aide internationale” offers the opportunity to discover, in "an offbeat setting", the key concepts of international cooperation, but above all to bring to life a parliamentary simulation by putting oneself in the shoes of a Member of Parliament in charge of rethinking the development aid policy of the imaginary Republic of Hopeland.
Prof. Gautier Pirotte and Véronique Fettweis, the designers of this MOOC, were present in Paris to receive this award, which also honours the whole of the ULiège's MOOCs filmmaking team.
Beyond its formal qualities and the devices allowing an active engagement of the participants in international negotiation processes, the specificity of the MOOC associated with a university course via a "World Café" was appreciated by the jury. This integration into the courses is one of the characteristics and specificities of the MOOCs produced by the University of Liège, placing them at the heart of its students' training, while being accessible and adapted to all interested audiences.
