Researchers at UNamur have developed a new method that has uncovered 32 previously undetected bugs in some of the most widely used software libraries for training artificial intelligence models.

The ERINN 2026 annual conference, organized by the CRED Research Center at the DeFiPP Institute, took place on June 15 and 16, 2026, at the EMCP Faculty. Funded by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation’s ARC IDnomics project, the conference explored the interaction between rapidly evolving social identities and public policy, as well as the impact of these factors on societal behaviors and economic choices.It also welcomed a distinguished guest: Professor George Arthur Akerlof, a 2001 recipient of the Alfred Nobel Prize in Economic Science.  In the interview Professor Akerlof granted us, he reflects on the origins of his career but does not discuss equations or economic models. He talks about people.

By offering several modules to students in healthcare training programs that focus on learning through play, the University of Namur’s Faculty of Medicine is setting itself apart in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

Aline Wilmet and Kevin Persoons, project managers for scientific literacy, take a look behind the scenes at these projects and the challenges they faced in bringing them to fruition.

Established about ten years ago within the UNamur School of Law, the Center for Vulnerabilities and Societies (V&S) has established itself as a hub for research and critical reflection on contemporary situations of vulnerability. Born from the merger of two existing centers (PROJUCIT and Fundamental Rights and Social Cohesion), it has gradually organized itself around a clear objective: to analyze how the law addresses the realities experienced by people affected by poverty, precariousness, and discrimination, or whose fundamental rights are at risk of being compromised.
