At the very top of the Citadelle, you can see a futuristic-looking star. As if lifted from the sky, it sparkles and sublimates the heritage and historical site of the Namur promontory.However, it's not a star, but an architecturally audacious construction that invites you to travel, in a space-time where perception and understanding mingle with amazement and amusement.Dedicated to digital cultures, the aptly named "Pavillon" takes up a major challenge for our society. This new exhibition space mixes art, science and technology to enable as many people as possible to understand and appropriate the impact of technological innovations on our times.

Where once the tread of military horses echoed, the Grand Manège now thrills hearts with the sound of song and musical notes.Over an area of 6,000m², this exceptional new venue dedicated to classical music houses the Balthasar-Florence Conservatory, the Centre d'Art Vocal et de Musique Ancienne, the À Cœur Joie association and a 750-seat concert hall with remarkable acoustics, christened the "Namur Concert Hall".A true musical city that contributes to the blossoming of students, musicians, artists, music lovers, but also the people of Namur!

From the Hospice Saint-Gilles to the Parliament of Wallonia On the banks of the Meuse and at the foot of the Citadel lies a site steeped in history. From prehistoric times to the present day, the presence of Man has continued uninterrupted here. The "Saint-Gilles" settlement was established on the Grognon site as early as the 12th century. At one time a hospital, at another a hospice, this building steeped in history and a symbol of hospitality now houses the Walloon Parliament. A little historyArcheological excavations carried out on the site of the "Saint-Gilles" building have revealed foundations dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries. At that time, it was Namur's first hospital, caring for the sick, the poor and pilgrims. Its founders, religious or lay, lords or burghers, mobilized resources intended for the care of the poor to align themselves with the teaching of the Gospels: he who welcomes a destitute person receives Christ himself. Over the centuries, the building bore several patronymics: "Grand Hôpital", "Hostellerie de Namur", "Hôpital Notre-Dame"... before being christened "Hôpital Saint-Gilles", a reminder of the eponymous chapel adjoining it in the 15th century. The building evolved over the course of history. Surrounded by private mansions that their owners could no longer afford to maintain, it was built, rebuilt, enlarged and transformed to absorb these new spaces offered by their owners in exchange for a roof over their heads and a roof over their heads until the end of their lives. The rebuilding was completed in 1723 to form a "U" shape. On the first floor was a large sick room and a dormitory occupied the entire first floor. The pantry, pharmacy, bakery and laundry were located in the basement. Brick for the walls and limestone for the base, window frames, quoins and string courses: the building is still representative of Mosan constructions of the period. In 1796, the building changed its name and function. Intended as a home for the elderly and orphans, it was renamed "Hospice Saint-Gilles". It retained this function until 1965, when, unable to meet the sanitary standards required by the hospital function, it was abandoned. Twenty years later, the Walloon Region became the owner of the building. To accommodate the Walloon Parliament in 1998, the Saint-Gilles was renovated and consolidated while respecting the existing structures. The former chapel became the building's entrance, the women's dormitory was transformed into a plenary session room, the former refectory became a committee room... Although it has retained its original appearance, the missions of the Saint-Gilles have, for their part, changed a great deal!

The first two modules are organized as lectures (2 X 2h). Each course is taught by a first-year bachelor's professor.Essential structures and functions of eukaryotic cells; introduction to cell divisionThe course provides an overview of the different cellular compartments in an animal and plant cell. The different organelles of the cell are then described from a structural point of view and from the point of view of their main function in the cell. The cell cycle and the process of cell division are recapped.Macromolecules of life; the genetic code and its translation into proteinsThe course reviews different macromolecules of living things: lipids (energy source, phospholipids and sterols), proteins (4 levels of organization, structure-function-activity relationship) and nucleic acids (nucleotides, RNA, DNA, double helix, hereditary material). The following modules (3 X 2h) are organized in groups of more or less 25 students. They are taught by assistants from the Biology department.Metabolism I: notions of enzymes, energy and ATP, catabolism and anabolismThe points covered are:Some thermodynamic aspectsFree energy, endergonic and exergonic reactions, balanced reactions, energy coupling, catabolism-anabolism linkCarbohydrates, storage and reserve polysaccharidesATP, energy currency of the cell, examples of productionEnzymes, activation energy, active site, allosteric regulation, inhibitors, denaturationMetabolism II: Energy flow in the cell (respiration and photosynthesis)Points covered are:Autotrophs, heterotrophsFundamental role of ATPEnergy-producing metabolismsAerobic cellular respirationFermentationPhotosynthesisMendelian genetics, meiosis, crossover and related genesThe points covered are:Historical background to the birth of geneticsRecall of meiosis and comparison with mitosisMendel's lawsPhenotype and genotypeTest-crossCodominance, partial dominance, polyallelic and polygenic heredity, pleiotropy, epistasisSex chromosome-related heredityGene linkage, spanning, genetic map.
