The first global conference of Chinese materials researchers took place from July 22 to 28, 2025, at the University of Namur. Organized by Professor Bao-Lian Su, director of the Inorganic Materials Chemistry Laboratory (CMI) of the Nanomaterials Chemistry Unit (UCNano) in the Chemistry Department at the University of Namur, Belgium, in collaboration with Professor Qing-Jie Zhang of Wuhan University of Technology (China) and Professor Max Gao-Qing Lu of the University of Wollongong (Australia), the event brought together nearly 500 participants. 

A project submitted by Professor Frédéric Silvestre's Laboratoire de Physiologie Évolutive et Adaptative (LEAP) at the University of Namur has been ranked among the top 6 research projects funded by the FNRS and the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) for scientific collaboration between Wallonia and Quebec. The aim? To understand the impact of human activities on St. Lawrence Estuary (SLE) belugas, using interdisciplinary approaches to help improve conservation strategies for this threatened species..

Critical thinking, the art of productive doubt, can be learned and cultivated. Faced with information overload and the spread of artificial intelligence, it is more important than ever for students to develop this skill throughout their studies. At UNamur, this educational necessity takes many forms. 

Researchers at the Universities of Namur (UNamur), Brussels (ULB) and Liège (ULiège) have just taken a key step towards understanding viral mechanisms. Their study, published in the international scientific journal PLOS Pathogens, focuses on a particular type of molecule produced by viruses, circular RNAs, and presents an innovative bioinformatics tool capable of better identifying them.

In early September, the University of Namur hosted the first Main-Group Elements Reactivity Conference (MG-ERC). Over 100 researchers from 12 countries and 32 institutions gathered around Professor Guillaume Berionni. An event hailed as "one of the best chemistry conferences" by its prestigious guests.

The Days of Education for Sustainable Development and Transition (JEDDT) aim to educate all third-year bachelor's students about the challenges of the world to come. This first edition was made possible thanks to Fabienne Bister and Michel Dumont, two UNamur alumni with a wealth of experience.
