The Democratic Transformations Cluster studies how political systems are evolving in response to major contemporary shifts — from the structural fractures emerging out of capitalist crises to the upheavals of the Anthropocene and the technological revolutions transforming communication.Its research addresses crucial questions such as climate governance, the evolution of party politics, minority representation, new forms of protest, political personalization, and new modes of citizen participation. These themes also invite reflection on the philosophical foundations of modern democracies.

The Territorial and Socio-Environmental Transformation cluster brings together researchers who seek to understand and support—even stimulate—the transformations that human societies must undertake in the face of major contemporary challenges.

The transformation of our societies is affecting the construction of our lives and life courses. These are traversed by a dual movement of de-standardization and de-institutionalization, leading to a gradual detachment from social roles, but also to a rise in social, cultural and gender uncertainties and inequalities. The "Transitions and Ages of Life" cluster studies the way in which these life courses are recomposed according to new social constraints and normative imperatives. It thus focuses on the fragility of populations at any age of life, and also on the repercussions of political devices and measures on the construction of life courses.This cluster brings together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds who analyze both the normative transformations affecting life courses and life-age transitions..

The Chair is dedicated to the study of security, from both traditional and critical approaches. Its axis of rotation is the analysis of safety performance - at cultural, organizational and technological levels - and its relationship to social order. Here, safety is approached primarily from a transdisciplinary angle. This localization of safety, at the intersection of several disciplinary influences, directly structures the theoretical and methodological orientations of the studies conducted within the Chair.

The University of Namur promotes gender equality, supports its researchers by fostering a culture of excellence and scientific integrity, and places sustainable development at the heart of its priorities. The 2025 strategic plan, a veritable guide to the university's future, defines the objectives and actions needed to strengthen the University of Namur's position within the institutional landscape in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Students don't just take classes: they contribute to a community based on respect, solidarity and integrity. These values are essential to ensure an environment where everyone can develop to their full potential. The good conduct policy supports other strong institutional policies on key societal issues, such as the fight against precariousness, harassment, inclusion and the promotion of student involvement. These policies illustrate the University of Namur's commitment to providing a respectful, inclusive and supportive working and learning environment for its students, researchers and the wider community..
