We are interested in understanding fundamental physics and the use of light technologies. We stand at the crossroads of analytical developments in classical and quantum electrodynamics and an intensively developed toolbox in numerical simulation for photonic systems. Our aim is to stay as close as possible to experimental fabrication and characterization.

The research team is led by Principal Investigator (PI) Professor Michaël Lobet, Qualified Researcher FNRS, who is a member of the Department of Physics, and is also affiliated with the NISM (Pôle de recherche NOP). It is made up of post-doctoral researchers, PhD students and Master's students, whose composition varies from year to year and depending on the project.It aims to be as diverse and inclusive as possible. It is also very proud of its alumni network, which has grown over time and contributed greatly to the team's development. Dedicated to excellence, the research team has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards.

Our research activities are divided into 3 main areas.

Since 2017 and as part of the work of the Pacte pour un Enseignement d'excellence, eight scientific "Consortiums" of the tronc commun have been formed. They bring together a total of some fifty members from the various universities, colleges and higher arts schools in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Their mission is to establish, on the e-classe digital platform, a repertoire of didactic tools and pedagogical devices that the educational community will be able to consult, select and procure easily, according to its needs and those of its students. These resources are available on the e-classe digital platform.

A collection of tools to make it easier for teachers to set up cultural and artistic education activities in nursery, primary and secondary schools, to build confidence and the desire to dare.A p.ART.cour(t)? ART... Step by step... A p.ART.cour(t) is a series of introductory sessions built around a common thread. Each session lasts from fifteen minutes to two hours. Some p.ART.cour(t)s focus on a particular technique or theme... Others are built around a standard session to be reproduced on a regular basis. Some cover one or more artistic disciplines, while others are truly interdisciplinary.A p.ART.cour(t) is first and foremost a starting point, an aid, a proposal, a trigger for the teacher. It is a source of inspiration or imitation, of appropriation to freely create and/or experiment with activities in cultural and artistic education. The p.ART.cour(t) can take the form of a PDF or a digital book. Sometimes, an illustrative video or sound tracks accompany the teaching pack. The aim of p.ART.cour(t)s is to enable every student to experience art. To live, to feel, to experiment, without the pressure or obligation to produce a predefined result or one that corresponds to a standard. Consequently, the emphasis throughout p.ART.cour(t) is on the discovery, the student's encounter with art. The p.ART.cour(t)s in pictures Teacher feedbackThank you for the experience, on my own I wouldn't have dared.... And the students really enjoyed the experience, I think. (1st differentiated)Interesting interdisciplinary project. Sequences linked together so real class project. (P5-P6)My students loved it when I told them we were going to make, discover ART. We became artists. They sometimes asked me when we were going to make art again! (P1-P2) Children's feedbackI enjoyed it because the point of it wasn't to be the best, but it was more about having fun.I learned to have confidence in myself, to be less shy.How to access it?All the p.ART.cour(t)s, and many other identified existing resources, can be found on www.e-classe.be.If you're an FWB teacher (and have a cerberus account), you can access them easily: just go to the platform and type the word P.ART.cour(t) (with its funny spelling) into the search bar, you'll then arrive in a folder that brings them all together. If you're not a teacher, don't panic! You can access them via the brochure. How do I do this? In the brochure, each p.ART.cour(t) is briefly presented. You can access the free online tool by clicking on the title of the p.ART.cour(t) via a direct link. Access to a video is also found behind the icon. Discover the brochure A few examples RAS...

The benefits of training close relationships with the business world: interventions by managers in courses, group work carried out in companies...; a network of high-quality partners who open up their teaching specialties to you in French-speaking Belgium (LSM, ICHEC and Solvay) and Flanders (Universities of Antwerp, Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven); an international openness which draws on a network of partner universities and companies on 5 continents and offers you: stays abroad (university or company), courses taught in English and group work carried out in collaboration with international students. Testimonials As a student, I needed reassurance. The master's degree enabled me to exploit all my abilities in a more reassuring way. I'd even go so far as to say that the Master's has boosted my self-confidence! Thanks to my Erasmus (which I will never forget), I also developed a certain open-mindedness, both personally and professionally. Much more than a second degree and access to new professional prospects, this master's degree was a real opportunity for personal development for me!Daisy, graduate Following my bachelor's degree in accounting at Haute École, I chose to deepen and broaden my knowledge by following the passerelle at UNamur. This was part of my desire to obtain university status, which offers a wider range of professional and salary opportunities, and part of my curiosity to discover the world of scientific research. There are many differences between the two types of teaching. I particularly appreciated the intellectual stimulation and the challenge of the Master's thesis. Unlike my bachelor's thesis, the dissertation gave me the feeling of having carried out a problem in its entirety, from reflection to recommendations Valérie, graduate In practice, a tailor-made itinerary When you register for the Master of Management Sciences, you choose between the 60-credit master's program and the 120-credit master's program. Based on your degree and previous coursework, additional teaching units (UES) are added to your master's program for a total of 45 to 60 credits maximum. The master 60 credits (1 year) is oriented towards the general and transdisciplinary aspects of business management. It allows you to select a single option and does not include internships or Erasmus stays.The master 120 credits (2 years) allows you to select 3 options in the fields of taxation and law, finance, services & marketing management and innovation and entrepreneurship. An Erasmus stay (with one of our international or Belgian partners) and the completion of an internship give your degree a unique character.
