About this event

This is the fourth lecture in the 'Beyond the Dark Clouds' lecture series - "The Mission of Catholic Universities: Towards a New Narrative?". This lecture will be given by Professor Nicolas Vergier, Institut Catholique de Paris and International Federation of Catholic Universities.

Nicolas holds a master's degree in international and European studies from the University of Paris 8 Vincennes Saint Denis (France) and an Executive master's degree in management of non-profit organizations from the IAE - Sorbonne Business School (Paris, France).

Before joining IFCU, he worked as a project officer at the Social Inclusion and Participatory Democracy Commission of the World Organization of Cities: United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) located in Barcelona (Spain). He then joined the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Sécurité Sociale in Paris (Paris, France) as head of international projects, where he worked on the development and implementation of a guide to good practices in social protection with a dozen French-speaking multinationals committing to adopting a CSR approach towards their employees all over the world.

Within the IFCU, he notably worked on the World Survey on "Youth cultures in Catholic universities" conducted by the Federation at the global level.

The aim of our inaugural lecture series 'Beyond the Dark Clouds' is to support the university, with its Catholic roots, to have a voice in the public square about justice, law-enforcement, the police, the nature of education, business ethics, spirituality, leadership and contemplation and the arts. Open to all, we encourage you to be a part of these public discussions about how to humanise our world and to bring about the conditions that enable the flourishing of all individuals and groups.
