As part of the Francqui 2025 Chair, the Department of History welcomes Prof. Jan Dumolyn (Ghent University) for a series of lessons on the theme "Urban history and social tensions - The Southern Netherlands before 1302."

The theme of sustainable development appears as an important element in university education and is part of the priorities of the University of Namur, as recalled in the Charter of our Institution: "the training of students and researchers who are responsible actors in society constitutes the primary objective of the University."Numerous initiatives exist within UNamur in the field of education linked to sustainable development, in fields as varied as economics, law, computer science, physical, chemical and biological sciences, medical and biomedical sciences, geography, philosophy, history, continuing teacher training, language teaching, North-South cooperation...

Our training center offers a wide range of training courses for teaching and support professionals.The training courses we offer are created on the basis of emerging needs in the field, our research findings and recent scientific literature updating promising practices for professionals.

Context Through its employment unit, UNamur offers a service to help with integration and career guidance in the way of group training and individual support. UNamur has also set up a career centre platform to facilitate the search for internships, jobs or training courses related to professional integration.
