In late November, the Mont-Saint-Guibert-based company Cellistic® donated equipment it no longer used to UNamur. By enabling the university to give this equipment a second life, Cellistic is making an important gesture in support of the development of university research.

Why "One Health"? Human, animal and environmental health are closely interrelated. The aim of this new teaching unit is to train future healthcare professionals in a global and interdisciplinary approach to health, taking these complex interactions into account.

Space has become a major economic and strategic issue. As a member of the European UNIVERSEH Alliance, UNamur explores this space theme in its various departments, from physics to geology, via mathematics, computer science or philosophy. Without forgetting to address the general public, who still dream of the stars...

Offered to all UNamur undergraduates, this new "One Health" teaching unit (UE) trains students in a global, interdisciplinary approach to health, taking into account these complex interactions.The official inauguration of this new UE at UNamur's Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Science took place on February 6, 2025, in the presence of Mr. Yves Coppieters, Minister of Health, and Mrs. Annick Castiaux, Rector of UNamur.One Health - une seule santé [MMEDB360]2 credits10h1st quadrimesterTeaching language: FrenchTeacher: Grégoire Wieërs.

As part of the practical work (TP) in medical psychology at the University of Namur's Faculty of Medicine, a landmark intervention took place. A pair, comprising Dominique Damas, expert patient and active member of the ASBL PAH (Plateforme Annonce Handicap), and Dr. Latteur, physician, came to share their experience on a subject as delicate as it is essential: the announcement of bad news or serious diagnoses to patients.

The University of Namur (UNamur) and Christian Mutuality (MC) announce a groundbreaking collaboration aimed at better understanding and combating the shortage of general practitioners in rural areas. This partnership is part of the Observatoire Universitaire en Médecine Rurale (OUMRu), launched in 2023 by UNamur.

For several years now, researchers have been striving to make their laboratories "greener". A series of actions have been implemented, funded by the CaNDLE 2023 call for projects have been supported by the Department of Biology at the initiative of Alison Forrester and Frédéric Silvestre, the project leaders, as well as by Campus Infrastructure Management Services (SIGeC) and Prevention Services (SerP). In March 2025, a Green Day was held to provide information on the project's progress, and to motivate people to join the initiative.  

From 2020 to 2025, as part of her doctoral thesis in history, researcher Julie Duchêne conducted a ground-breaking investigation blending history and biology to trace the cohabitation between humans and wolves in Wallonia and Luxembourg, from the 18th to the early 20th century. Thanks to an innovative interdisciplinary approach, including DNA analysis of naturalized 19th-century specimens, her work sheds light on the mechanisms that led to the local extinction of the species. This research was made possible thanks to the support of numerous scientific and cultural partners.

In May 2025, the Department of Physics welcomed two special visitors: Serge Mathot and François Briard from Namur, both alumni of UNamur and members of CERN. Several activities were on the program, ranging from a visit to the particle accelerator, to science popularization and thematic seminars, particularly in heritage sciences. The aim? To identify areas or activities in which UNamur and CERN could strengthen their collaboration.

The discovery of nuclear energy marked a turning point in human history. Today, alongside debates about its role in energy production and its destructive potential, nuclear energy continues to be used in a wide range of fields, such as medical research and cancer treatments. At UNamur, nuclear energy is thus at the heart of the work of biologists, physicists, and art historians.
