On the occasion of the 30th edition of the Festival International Nature de Namur (FINN), the University of Namur, partner of this event, reaffirms its commitment to environmental awareness by combining science and art. With its immersive stand in the nature village set up at the citadel, and the participation of its experts in the Focus Environnement ecological debates, the University of Namur offers an innovative look at nature through teaching. In addition, a jury of students from the Master in Cinematographic Cultures and Thought awarded the Prix de l'Environnement at the Professional Film Gala.

Many studies show that mastery of the written language and, above all, the ability to adapt to a particular communication context (that of the University) contribute to success in bac 1. However, students begin their university careers with a variety of tools, and the appropriation of the "access codes" and written conventions used in higher education is rarely the subject of explicit information or teaching.

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.

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.
