The start of every academic year is pivotal — first buildings, first classrooms, first steps on campus. The big question: “Where do I go?”
In 2025, five institutions — Galileo, Lyon 1, Lyon 2, Lyon 3 and the Sorbonne Nouvelle University — chose Evelity to answer this question in a modern, inclusive and universal way.
The verdict is clear: regardless of the campus type, size, age or level of communication effort, Evelity generates immediate usage, autonomy and satisfaction.
And the data speaks for itself…
With 3,600 students all discovering a new site at the same time, Galileo faced a specific challenge: to enable everyone to find their way instantly in a 100% new environment.
1,664 unique users
46.2% adoption rate - a record, perfectly logical: everyone was discovering the campus
5,900 map explorations, or 3.5 per user
776 guided tours launched
Evelity was integrated into the welcome tour. The benefit is immediate: students don't have to waste time deciphering a new place, and the school eliminates the "disoriented" phase of the new school year.
➡️ What Galileo proves: on a new campus, Evelity becomes the reference tool from day one.
With its 27,000 students, Lyon 2 is a campus where distance and dispersed locations naturally generate a need for assistance.
2,166 unique users
8% adoption rate
10,918 map explorations (5 per user)
1,914 guided tours launched
Stickers, posters, kakemonos, back-to-school events and social network posts triggered an explosion in usage from the first week of September.
➡️ What Lyon 2 proves: the larger the campus, the more indispensable Evelity becomes - and the data confirms it.
Lyon 3 first equipped the Manufacture des Tabacs (2023), then progressively the Quais (2024) and finally all sites.

12.7% adoption rate - out of 28,000 students

This campus has integrated Evelity particularly well into its welcome program:
stickers, wall plaques, posters, TV spots, social networking posts
participation in open days and induction days
inclusion in student publications and on the website,
recurring communication.
The result: massive and lasting adoption, year after year.
➡️ What Lyon 3 proves: the more integrated and continuous the communication, the more Evelity becomes a natural reflex for students.
With 15,000 students, including 4,000 newcomers, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle has a modern, densely-populated campus where orientation plays a central role in the daily experience.

4.2% adoption rate
1,794 map explorations
229 directions launched
Evelity has rapidly become a practical tool for finding your way around the 317 points of interest and pathways on campus.
Thanks to posters and flyers distributed on site, students immediately adopted the application, generating peaks in usage from the very first days.
➡️ What Université Sorbonne Nouvelle has proved: Evelity immediately finds its place as soon as it is made available, even on a contemporary campus already well structured with well thought-out signage.
With 15,000 students, the Rockefeller site is an architecturally dense complex, with historic buildings and major flows linked to the healthcare sector.

7% adoption rate
5,426 map explorations (5 per user)
742 guided tours launched
Posters, kakemonos and information points made a major contribution to the increase in usage from the end of August onwards. The effect is visible: peaks in usage coincide with times when students need to find their way around quickly (CM, TD, mock exams, etc.).
➡️ What Lyon 1 proves: even on an old campus, students use Evelity every week, because the tool simplifies recurrent travel.
