Delamination of sheepskin parchment: an interdisciplinary discovery published in Heritage Science

At UNamur, parchments are much more than objects of curiosity: they are at the heart of an interdisciplinary scientific adventure. Starting with historical sciences and conservation, the research has gradually incorporated the disciplines of physics, biology, chemistry, and archaeology.  This convergence has given rise to research in heritage sciences, driving innovative projects such as Marine Appart's doctoral work, supervised by Professor Olivier Deparis. This research has now been recognized with a publication in the prestigious journal Heritage Science (Nature Publishing Group).

Shortage of General Practitioners in Rural Areas: UNamur Pioneers a New Approach with Community Health Centers

In response to the growing shortage of general practitioners in rural areas, the University of Namur is launching a groundbreaking initiative to encourage future practitioners to explore these regions. This year, nine rural placement centers have been established in the provinces of Namur, Hainaut, and Luxembourg, enabling 26 students in the Master’s program specializing in general practice (a joint UNamur-UCLouvain degree) to complete an internship under conditions that facilitate their immersion. Designed to address barriers related to housing, transportation, and isolation, this pilot program has found a particularly promising first implementation in Chevetogne, in partnership with the Province of Namur and several municipalities.
