Since 2022, the Faculty of Law has chosen an annual theme that brings together the entire faculty—students and faculty alike—across all tracks and programs. This overarching theme is incorporated into courses, tutorials, assignments, public speaking competitions, lectures, and educational and cultural activities offered throughout the academic year. This inspiring and values-driven dynamic continues to make the educational environment at the University of Namur even more unique. Thus, in 2022–2023, we focused on CHILDHOOD & MIGRATION; in 2023–2024, on HARASSMENT in all its forms; and in 2024–2025, on INCLUSION, with the goal of enabling everyone to find their place in society regardless of race, gender, social class, generation, ability, romantic and/or sexual preferences, and so on. Throughout the year, we raised awareness about racism, LGBTQIA+ issues, people with disabilities, the elderly and very young, fatphobia, and more. 

How do I find a book or magazine? In the catalogueTo search the catalog, you must be in possession of bibliographic references. Beforehand you must perform a search by subject/matter in the legal databases available at the library (Jura, Strada lex, Jurisquare). Demonstration in pictures 1°) Enter one or more terms (title word, author,...) in the search bar of the Catalogue of the libraries of the University of Namur. Feel free to use quotation marks for less noise.2°) You get a list of results sorted by relevance. These can then be filtered using facets. If you select several values within a facet, the "OR" operator is applied EXCEPT for the "Author" and "Subject" facets, which apply the "AND" operator to refine the search.Select only physical resources or online resourcesDocument types: sort by number of occurrences.Book, text encompasses both books in paper and electronic format.Periodical encompasses both journals in paper and electronic format.Electronic resourceincludes only electronic referencesOther types of documents available: memoir, comic strip, video, thesis, maps and atlases, score, sound document, editorial collection, article, object...Please note, Open Access references in the UCL Institutional Directory are also included in the catalog>adding new document types: conference paper, working paper, contribution to a collective work, report, preprint, patent...Author: authors are classified by number of occurrences with a limit of 50.Library:"UNamur-Droit": includes all documents available at the CRIDS law library and documentation center.

Moved by a fundamental motivation to serve the community and make research results accessible, the Health, Social and Wellbeing Unit (SSBE) has today developed its activities around various human sciences, such as law, psychology, philosophy, economics, etc., and regularly collaborates with players in the so-called hard sciences (medicine, pharmacy, engineering...). Its research focus, like the constant concern for respect for the human person, lends itself more to a broader approach than just the legal framework.The researchers at SSBE examine how societal systems take into account, or fail to take into account, the various forms of vulnerability that can affect individuals or groups, on a one-off or permanent basis. The various norms and systems are thus analyzed in terms of their principles, practices, effectiveness, contradictions, players and developments, with a resolutely forward-looking objective and an important fundamental research dimension.SSBE has developed national and international expertise in the fields of social protection, welfare, psychosocial risks, mental health, equality and non-discrimination, and issues closely or remotely related to public health (patients' rights, aging, disability...), as well as in interdisciplinary research methodology.

Special attention is therefore paid to the field of public law (constitutional law and civil liberties, administrative law and criminal law and procedure), and particularly to the individual in his or her relationship with public authority. Various contexts of vulnerability are targeted: terrorism, radicalization, religious minorities, gender discrimination, armed conflicts, incivilities, begging, mental disorders, organized crime, sexual and gender violence, child pornography, cyber harassment, professional secrecy, anti-discrimination, etc.While the Unit is fundamentally rooted in legal science research, and in the field of public law in particular, it is also - like each of the Units that make up the V&S Centre - interdisciplinary and naturally draws on other social sciences to refine its expertise.
