What exactly did the ancient Egyptians eat? How did they prepare and preserve their food? What was their nutritional value? René Preys, an Egyptologist at UNamur, is currently involved in this astonishing research. This expert is a major figure in Belgian Egyptology. Interview.

In 2021, the European Union has embarked on a titanic project to safeguard the genomes of all eukaryotic species in Europe. In other words, all living organisms, with the exception of bacteria and archaea (micro-organisms). Called ERGA, for European Reference Genome Atlas, and in which UNamur is participating thanks to Professor Alice Dennis, this project hopes to help safeguard biodiversity, at a time when a fifth of European species are in danger of extinction..

The morning will be marked by a lecture by Julien Berthaud, a specialist in the social integration of students, who will share his insights on how this integration becomes a genuine vector for success.Then, scientific papers and experience sharing will enrich our knowledge and spark constructive debate. Lunch will be an opportunity to discover innovative student projects, highlighted in an inspiring exhibition.The afternoon promises to be just as stimulating with a round table moderated by Sabine Henry, where experts will discuss service learning, educational entrepreneurship and spirituality. This dynamic dialogue will be followed by a closing activity: the fresco of engagement, a collective brainstorming session that will lay the foundations for an innovative educational game.Join us for this day of exchange and reflection, and help shape the future of education where student engagement and knowledge vivacity will be the cornerstones of a new educational paradigm.
