The Covid-19 pandemic is a human tragedy that has caused millions of deaths worldwide and put our entire society under great strain. But it has also been a tremendous collective moment for many UNamur scientists, whose research continues in an attempt to better understand this disease and its consequences.

The three Belgian scientific experiments selected to be carried out on board the International Space Station (ISS) during astronaut Raphaël Liégeois' mission in 2026 have just been unveiled by the Federal Science Policy Public Service (Belspo). One of them is carried by a team from UNamur for an experiment at the crossroads of biology and physics aimed at analyzing the resistance of the "blob", an atypical unicellular organism.

Law students at UNamur, Marilyn Emmerechts and Delphine Blomme are part of the MUN Society Belgium (MSB), an organization that offers debate simulations in UN committees. In March, their team travelled to Manila, Philippines, to compete in the World Student Diplomacy Championships, organized by Harvard University. For five days, they debated alongside over 1,000 students. Interview.

In a fast-changing hospital sector, with ever-increasing demands for performance and innovation, project management plays a key role. Kevin Lejeune, Program Manager at CHU UCL Namur, is tackling these challenges as part of a management thesis at the University of Namur, within the EMCP Faculty (Economics, Management, Communication and SciencesPo), under the supervision of Professor Corentin Burnay. His ambition: to understand and structure the human and technological dynamics shaping hospital governance, and propose concrete levers to support its transformation.

An international research team led by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences has uncovered how pharmaceutical pollution alters the behaviour and migration patterns of Atlantic salmon in nature. Professor Eli Thoré, from the Department of Biology and the ILEE research institute at the University of Namur, contributed to this groundbreaking field study, which has just been published in Science.

The 24th edition of Printemps des Sciences was held from March 24 to 30 throughout Wallonia and Brussels, on the theme of "Eau-rêka". The aim of this annual event is to make science and technology accessible to as many people as possible. Mission accomplished for this new edition!
