A flurry of awards for the NaDI-CeRCLe research center in recent weeks. The service management research of three young doctoral students from the EMCP Faculty has been recognized by their peers at leading international scientific events: Floriane Goosse, Victor Sluÿters and Florence Nizette. This summer, we invite you to discover their careers and their work.

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. 

New from 2025-2026 The MAGIS program is a unique and exclusive exchange program that will transform you into a global citizen, a global agent of change.

Global environmental citizenship Course The Global environmental citizenship course is an international course on global citizenship, focusing on environmental justice. It is taught online and coordinated by a professor from Loyola University Chicago. The course objectives are: Understand the local and global impacts of biodiversity loss, water scarcity and climate changeEvaluate these impacts from a moral and spiritual perspectiveAct as responsible citizens, locally and globally, in the face of these challengesStudents selected for the MAGIS program will take the first part of the course during the 2nd quadrennium of Block 2 and the second part during the first quadrennium of Block 3. Discover the projects created by our students Course" exchange stay The "course" exchange stay enables students selected for the MAGIS program to take courses (for +/- 30 ECTS credits) during one term (the 1st term of Boc 3) at one of the participating Jesuit universities in or outside Europe.The stay is supported by a "course" mobility grant for partner universities where a bilateral agreement has been concluded with UNamur. This information can be found in the list of MAGIS program partners on Webcampus. Scholarship information Service Learning During the exchange stay, the students selected for the MAGIS program will carry out a service learning mission (internship, volunteering, etc), organized and supervised by the host University. This will enable students to:Understand the local environmentGet involved in community supportLearn and take on responsibilities Organization of these 3 components These three components are organized as follows:

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..

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. 

Biology is the science of life.  From cells to ecosystems, it studies all forms of life. It is essential for understanding complex societal issues related to the environment, health, and sustainable development.
