Fallen into economics by chance, Marianne Collin has been passionate about economic policy since her first application to UNamur. Her meeting with Luc Coene, former Governor of the National Bank, marked the start of her career: she remained with this institution for 13 years before joining Belfius at the request of Marc Raisière, Chairman of the Management Committee. In 2019, at the age of 37, she will become the first woman to join the Management Committee as Chief Risk Officer. She has fond memories of UNamur and, above all, a band of loyal friends.

On June 9, 2024, Belgians will be called to the polls to elect their European, federal and regional representatives. With its Department of Political, Social and Communication Sciences, and the research carried out within the Transitions Institute, UNamur is sharing its expertise to inform and raise awareness among students, the general public and also professionals in the political and legal sector, about the major issues at stake in this election! Today, Arthur Borriello, Professor of Political Science at UNamur, discusses the rise of the extreme right. Our aim? In five questions, to understand the causes and mechanisms, and to show the importance of the citizen's role in the fight against the extreme right.

Noé, Méline and Romain are master’s students in management sciences and management engineering at UNamur. In spring 2023, they and five other students had the opportunity to spend a few days in Italy, at the Università Carlo Cattaneao near Milan.

A cyber-attack occurs every 39 seconds worldwide. And the commercial losses caused by cybercrime are estimated to exceed 5,000 billion dollars by 2024. At a time when the fight against this type of crime represents a fundamental challenge for society, the Master students in Management were challenged to find innovative solutions to raise awareness of cybersecurity among audiences identified as being vulnerable. It was a realistic and ambitious exercise, as the students had to work for a client: DNS Belgium, which administers the .be, .vlaanderen and .brussels domain names. Organised in the form of a challenge, the exercise was supervised by managers from DNS Belgium, IBM and academics from UNamur. Focus on the three winning projects!
