A team of American researchers, with the help of Frédérik De Laender, professor in the Department of Biology at UNamur, has just published in the prestigious journal Nature. Their study describes how changing stream temperatures and human introductions of fish can alter river biodiversity in the USA.

The team of professor Xavier De Bolle has just published an article in the prestigious EMBO Journal published by Springer Nature.  His discovery? A lipid transport channel through the cell membrane of Brucella, the bacteria responsible for Brucellosis in cattle. This finding could be used to generate attenuated strains of the bacteria; a process used in vaccine manufacturing. 

Japan is almost 10,000 kilometers from Belgium, a country that fascinates, not least for its rich culture full of contrasts. Researchers at UNamur maintain close ties with several Japanese institutions, particularly in the fields of computer science, mathematics and video games. Let's take a look at some of these collaborations..

FaSEF provides theoretical and practical training in preparation for the CAPAES (Certificate of Aptitude for Teaching in Higher Education) for teachers employed under contract in a university or in higher education for social advancement outside the teaching categories.

The Master's degree specializing in coaching professionals in education, management, health, and social work (MAPEMASS) offers unique training and aims to provide trainers, team leaders, advisors, HR managers, and others with training in coaching teams and the professionals who comprise them.  

This specialization master's program is designed for higher education teachers working either in university teaching (assistants and professors) or in higher education outside universities (Hautes écoles). It aims to carry out applied research, in the professional field of the program's students.

The biodiversity crisis is not only destroying nature: it also threatens our societies, our well-being, and our survival. Based on scientific assessments and findings from IPBES, this Francqui Chair explores our toxic relationship with nature, the global failure to protect it, and the multiple values of living organisms. We will examine ways to recognize these values, repair our relationship, and bring about the transformative change that is needed.Keen to put the protection of ecosystems back at the center of public debate, UNamur is organizing a second Francqui Chair in Law this academic year with Professor Delphine Misonne on a related theme: "Need for the environment, need for law?"Free event upon registration.  More information and full program I'm signing up

Initiated and coordinated by Bernard Pireaux (UCLouvain), this collective work - co-authored in particular by Professors Laurent Houssiau and Jim Plumat (UNamur) - offers a reference manual to accompany students of medicine, biomedical sciences and life sciences throughout their course. Designed as a clear, progressive and practical tool, it illustrates just how essential physics is to the understanding of living organisms and to medical practice.

Trust of traditional political institutions and elected representatives, rise of authoritarian logics, definition of public services... Democracy today seems to be going through a turbulent zone. What role does the university play in this context? To shed light on this question, we interviewed four researchers from different disciplines: educationalist Sephora Boucenna, philosopher Louis Carré, political scientist Vincent Jacquet and legal scholar Aline Nardi. Their contrasting views sketch out the contours of an issue that is more topical than ever: thinking about and defending the link between university and democracy.

Developed since the dawn of time, mathematics shapes our daily lives and develops tools for the future. At the heart of hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology, mathematics plays a key role in a large number of applied problems, whether in computer science and telecommunications, through discrete mathematics and algorithms, in meteorology and space science, through the theory of dynamic systems, or in finance and actuarial science, through probability and stochastic processes.
