Since the 2023-2024 academic year, the Faculty Economics Management Communication Politics (EMCP) has been offering an innovative mobility program within the Bachelor of Economic and Management Sciences: a 3-year double degree (DD) with Ghent University.

Veterinary medicine is a discipline at the intersection of medicine, biology, agronomy, and pharmacy. It focuses on the collective and individual health of farm animals and companion animals, as well as its implications for the environment, human health, and society. At the forefront of managing public health issues and monitoring infectious diseases, veterinarians are also a driving force in biomedical research involving both humans and animals. In this sense, veterinary medicine is an indispensable link in global health. 

Fostering curiosity about the Earth and the natural world: a key to meeting the challenges of tomorrow.

Mathematics, which has been developing since the dawn of time, shapes our daily lives and provides tools for the future. At the heart of the hard sciences—such as physics, chemistry, and biology—mathematics plays a vital role in a wide range of applied problems, whether in computer science and telecommunications, through discrete mathematics and algorithmics, in meteorology and space science, through the theory of dynamical systems, or in finance and actuarial science, through probability and stochastic processes. 

Learn how to address the social and environmental challenges facing our society to develop a scientific approach focused on the future and on solving societal issues!

Ever since the discovery of fire in prehistoric times, human beings have been fascinated by matter, its properties, and the changes it undergoes—whether naturally or as a result of human intervention. Now known as “chemists,” specialists in the reactivity of matter continue to pursue the art of experimentation and discovery. The products of their essential knowledge are applied in the fields of nutrition, health, hygiene, transportation, sports, construction, and environmental protection. 

Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous malignancy in which human papillomavirus (HPV) status strongly influences therapeutic response. HPV-positive tumors generally show greater sensitivity to treatment, whereas HPV-negative tumors are associated with a poorer prognosis and increased resistance. This thesis investigated how HPV status shapes cellular adaptation to therapeutic stress, with a particular focus on therapy-induced senescence (TIS), autophagy, and MMS19.HPV- HNSCC cells developed a senescence-like phenotype following cisplatin or X-ray irradiation, whereas HPV+ cells showed limited induction. Silencing of the viral oncogenes E6 and E7 in HPV-positive cells enhanced this phenotype, indicating that HPV actively modulates treatment-induced cellular responses. Proteomic analyses further identified autophagy- and lysosome-related pathways as major features distinguishing HPV- from HPV+ cells. Autophagy inhibition predominantly impaired proliferation and clonogenic survival in HPV- cells, supporting an HPV-dependent autophagy–senescence axis involved in treatment adaptation.The second part of this thesis identified MMS19, a component of the cytosolic iron–sulfur cluster assembly machinery, as a potential determinant of HPV- HNSCC resistance. MMS19 was associated with poorer clinical outcomes, while its silencing impaired proliferation and clonogenic survival, particularly in HPV- cells.Together, these findings identify autophagy-dependent remodeling and MMS19-associated genome maintenance as potential vulnerabilities contributing to therapeutic resistance in HPV- HNSCC.

The ERINN 2026 annual conference, organized by the CRED Research Center at the DeFiPP Institute, took place on June 15 and 16, 2026, at the EMCP Faculty. Funded by the Wallonia-Brussels Federation’s ARC IDnomics project, the conference explored the interaction between rapidly evolving social identities and public policy, as well as the impact of these factors on societal behaviors and economic choices.It also welcomed a distinguished guest: Professor George Arthur Akerlof, a 2001 recipient of the Alfred Nobel Prize in Economic Science.  In the interview Professor Akerlof granted us, he reflects on the origins of his career but does not discuss equations or economic models. He talks about people.
