The Institute hosts five types of research seminars. These seminars bring together members to discuss a variety of topics and are generally held during the day.

The University of Namur invites you to look up at the sky during UNamur Space Week. This event is part of major international initiatives such as Belgian Space Week and World Space Week, and offers a series of activities to discover the universe, understand the challenges of space exploration and explore research.

The Department of Biology, with its wealth of tenured professors, conducts cutting-edge international scientific research. This is divided between 5 research units addressing a variety of topics in cell and molecular biology, molecular microbiology, environmental and evolutionary biology, plant biology and didactics.

The Laboratory of Evolutionary and Adaptive Physiology (LEAP) is directed by Professor Frédéric Silvestre.  It is one of five laboratories belonging to the Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology (URBE) within the Department of Biology. LEAP is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth, and Environment (ILEE).Our research focuses on integrative, comparative, and evolutionary physiology. We aim to study the impacts of environmental changes (pollution, temperature, salinity, etc.) on aquatic organisms at various levels: molecular, physiological, and phenotypic. 

The Adaptive Biodynamics Laboratory (LAB) is directed by Professor Eli Thoré.  It is one of five laboratories belonging to the Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology (URBE) within the Department of Biology. The LAB is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth, and Environment (ILEE).Life is dynamic, complex, and deeply interconnected at all scales. At the LAB, we take an integrative approach to understanding how animals respond to environmental changes—particularly those driven by human activity—across space and time.

Frederik De Laender’s laboratory at the University of Namur (UNamur) is advancing predictive ecology by integrating theoretical modeling, experimental systems, and quantitative data analysis. It is one of five laboratories belonging to the Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology (URBE) within the Department of Biology. LEAP is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth, and Environment (ILEE). 

Brendan Reid's laboratory makes extensive use of genomic data (with a particular focus on time-series data from museum specimens and environmental DNA) to identify how species and communities respond to environmental changes. His lab is one of five labs belonging to the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) within the Department of Biology. He is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth, and Environment (ILEE).

The Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) at the University of Namur brings together a dynamic, international community of scientists with a wide range of complementary areas of expertise.

The Laboratory of Adaptive Evolution and Genomics (LEAG) is directed by Professor Alice Dennis.  It is one of five laboratories belonging to the Research Unit in Environmental and Evolutionary Biology (URBE) within the Department of Biology. LEAG is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth, and Environment (ILEE).

An event bringing together research, science, and your students, organized by Confluent des Savoirs in collaboration with researchers from UNamur.  

Are you a teacher looking to spark your students’ scientific curiosity by encouraging them to look up at the sky?Did you know that it’s possible to observe the stars, the planets, and even the Sun… without leaving Namur?

This non-certificate programme, taught entirely in English, is designed to develop your command of the fundamental skills in economics.It also provides access to the Specialized Master in International and Development Economics (SMIDE) if you wish to deepen your knowledge in this field.
