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.

Le Confluent des Savoirs offers schools, cultural centers, museums, and other institutions a variety of science outreach exhibitions.

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.

As part of its mission to support research, Confluent des Savoirs offers interdisciplinary training courses for doctoral students, researchers, and master’s students at the University of Namur.

The Confluent des Savoirs (CDS) is the University of Namur’s public outreach and research dissemination service. The CDS shares the knowledge and expertise generated by the university’s seven faculties with as wide an audience as possible.Whether you are a teacher, student, parent, or simply curious, the CDS invites you to explore the world of research.

A day to explore, learn, and be inspired.

Are you a high school student, college student, graduate, or an adult returning to school? Info études is here to guide you through the process and help you make the right choices.

Give your students—and yourselves, as teachers—the opportunity to dive into the heart of research and scientific culture! Whether through events, workshops, or meetings with researchers at your school or at the university, these special moments spark curiosity and foster critical thinking. And for teachers, conferences, training sessions, and educational exchanges allow you to update your knowledge, enrich your teaching practices, and strengthen the connection between theory and real-world application.
