After more than 60 years in existence, the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management (FSESG) at the University of Namur unveils its new name for the start of the academic year. It has become the EMCP Faculty, or Faculté Économie Management Communication sciencesPo. Every year, many students are trained here to become future experts and decision-makers in economics, management, communications and political science. How do you reconcile teaching methods and research with the challenges of a society in transition? This is the challenge taken up by the EMCP vision, a reflection of reflection and experience, carried forward by students and staff alike.

How can teleworking and face-to-face work be reconciled? How can these professional practices be framed to reinforce the innovative and sustainable dimensions of hybrid work? These are the questions that Michel Ajzen, a specialist in organizational management, is tackling as part of his teaching assignments in the Department of Management Sciences at UNamur. His research focuses on hybrid work and organizational innovation, with a transdisciplinary approach aimed at reinventing managerial practices to meet contemporary challenges.
