Loic Delhuvenne

Loïc Delhuvenne serves as General Director of the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis Agency since 2016 while holding a lecturing position at ESPOL (European School of Political and Social Sciences), Catholic University of Lille. His career bridges academic instruction in European governance with executive leadership in cross-border regional administration across France and Belgium.

His educational foundation includes:

• Master's degree in Political Science, Université Libre de Bruxelles (2008)
• Executive courses at SciencesPo Paris and London School of Economics

Delhuvenne's professional focus centers on European territorial cooperation frameworks, with documented expertise in cohesion policy implementation and transfrontier governance institutionalization. His practical experience in managing the tri-national Eurometropolis directly informs his academic contributions, particularly through CRISP newsletter analyses of cross-border cooperation mechanisms. Research interests emphasize real-world application in regional European integration rather than theoretical political science.

Current affiliations reflect his dual-track career:

• Primary executive role: Leading the Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai Eurometropolis Agency
• Academic role: Delivering specialized instruction at ESPOL on European policy
• Prior expertise: Serving as Wallonia's specialist in cohesion policy (2012-2016)

His professional trajectory demonstrates consistent specialization in EU cross-border governance, transitioning from advisory roles in Belgian regional government to executive leadership and academic knowledge transfer. The absence of research laboratories or student supervision listings indicates his academic contribution remains focused on practitioner-based lecturing rather than research mentorship.
