First a student, then an assistant at the Faculty of Law, Manuela Cadelli has now been a judge at the Namur Court of First Instance for almost a quarter of a century, but she also finds the time and resources to get involved. Time for scientific collaboration, for example, since she is a member of the CRIDS (Centre de Recherche Information, Droit et Société) at UNamur, where she is interested in the role of artificial intelligence in the judge's decision-making process. Time, too, to fight battles. Fighting for a stronger, more supportive, fairer justice system. Through her books, her "cartes blanches" and her various mobilizations, she asserts her positions, making her one of the "voices" of the Belgian justice system. Deeply human, she is committed to respecting the rights of each and every individual. And the citizen pays her back in spades. In the "pas perdus" rooms of the Palais de Justice de Namur, where she welcomes us, not a minute goes by without someone coming up to greet her.

On January 23 and 24, 2025, UNamur experts were present at the SETT (School Education Transformation Technology) trade show for its sixth edition. A must-attend event for digital education in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, dedicated to principals, teachers and technical-pedagogical advisors.

Professor Timoteo Carletti of the University of Namur has just published in the prestigious journal Nature Physics in collaboration with Professor Ginestra Bianconi of Queen Mary University of London and eight other international researchers. This groundbreaking study could lead to the development of new AI algorithms, new ways of studying brain function, or breakthroughs in disciplines such as physics, climate science, finance and many others.

On December 11, 2024, the University of Reims-Champagne-Ardenne hosted the launch event for the ORION project, in which the University of Namur is a partner. This project, financed for 4 years by ERDF and INTERREG funds, aims to improve water management in the Val de Meuse while preserving the ecosystems of the Val de Meuse, a river running through France and Belgium.

From March 10 to 14, 2025, the Faculty of Law at the University of Namur hosted an academic event of international stature: the European Moot Court Competition.

Max Collinet, professor of geology at the Faculty of Science and researcher at the Institute of Life, Earth and Environment (ILEE), has just been awarded equipment funding (EQP) from the F.R.S - FNRS following calls whose results were published in December 2024.

They are future veterinarians, doctors, lawyers, historians, geographers, or even computer scientists, and they share this common point: the concern to train themselves, voluntarily, in the challenges of sustainable development and transition. Since October 2024, 25 mainly 3rd-year students from various UNamur faculties have been taking part in a pilot experiment: the Journées de l'Education au Développement Durable et à la Transition (JEDDT). This Monday, March 17, they presented in a creative form, the fruit of their reflection after 6 months of training.

Several researchers at the Namur Institute of Structured Matter (NISM) have recently been awarded funding from the F.R.S - FNRS following calls whose results were published in December 2024. The NISM Institute federates the research activities of the chemistry and physics departments of the University of Namur.

Researchers at ULiège and UNamur are developing a new electrochromic material: MoWOx.
