An international team of researchers, including Professor Benoît Champagne from UNamur, has just published a paper in the prestigious journal "Accounts of Chemical Research" (ACS). They have demonstrated the role of dynamic fluctuations in the structure of molecules on their optical properties. This aspect of dynamics is innovative because previous studies were limited to rigid structures.

The four UNamur continuing education centers specializing in the education sector have come together within "La Salle des Pros" to strengthen their collaborations, their cross-functional approach and their visibility. However, each center retains its autonomy and its faculty roots in order to preserve its specificities and maintain a close link with research and the initial training of teachers.

After the January exams, some students have doubts about their choice of study. Some are demotivated and sometimes "drop out" of the course or the exam session. The studies chosen did not correspond to the initial idea. The ReBOND course (which literally means "bounce back") offers students the opportunity to use the second semester to rebuild their career plans and prepare for success next year.

Succeeding in higher education is not simply a question of intellectual faculties and good will. You still have to make the right choice of orientation, manage your time and your emotions, be well surrounded, not to mention the importance of socio-economic factors. At UNamur, multiple aids to success are put in place to help students in their career.

A work of educational and philosophical science fiction, “À l'appel des étoiles” (The Call of the Stars) is the first novel by the professor and researcher in astronomy at UNamur. A fiction that respects the laws of physics and takes you on an interstellar sailing ship in pursuit of light!

Appointed in January 2022 for a four-year term, Guido Jardon is one of the three new external administrators of the University of Namur. As Director General of the Royal Institute for Music and Pedagogy (IMEP) for the past twenty years, he knows Namur's higher education system well. Passionate and fascinating, this renowned pianist is not stingy with superlatives. He takes a benevolent look at the links forged between these two institutions, which in theory are very different. Interview.

Throughout the year, come and attend our "Grandes Conférences Namuroises". A programme of six conferences accessible to all, on a variety of topical subjects.

This report provides a global audience with the most recent and accurate estimates of trends in global poverty and shared prosperity. The report draws extensively on the multidimensional poverty research of a group of researchers at the DEFIPP Institute at UNamur.

What is a perfect fluid? It is a theoretical model of a fluid that allows us to assume that the fluid is not viscous, that it does not conduct heat, that it is incompressible and does not create vortices. It is therefore an approximation of reality that simplifies theoretical predictions of fluid flows. For the first time, an international team has experimentally demonstrated this same behaviour for light immersed in a medium of low refractive index.

As the largest and heaviest organ in the human body, the skin is the focus of Professor Yves Poumay's research. For nearly 30 years, within the Cells and Tissues laboratory (LabCeTi), he has been developing in vitro epidermal models that reproduce skin pathologies to better understand and treat them. A pioneering approach that offers alternatives to animal experimentation! On the eve of an international congress devoted to dermatology research organised at UNamur (see below), he talks about the importance of melanoma screening and details the latest advances in dermatology made in his laboratory.

Appointed last January for a 4-year term, this senior honorary magistrate is joining the higher education sector. An environment he knows well. To the point of perfectly appropriating the objectives of the new Strategic Plan, “Universe 2025”. Interview.

The Réseau international francophone de recherche en éducation et formation (REF), founded in 1989, brings together every two years in one of the four founding countries (France, Belgium, Quebec, Switzerland) researchers in education sciences and didactics. The meetings are usually held over two days and take the form of parallel symposia on different educational research themes, linked by a common thread. They took place at UNamur last July. A look back at a successful edition.
