An innovative educational initiative was carried out at the University of Namur during the 2024–2025 academic year as part of the “Software Testing and Quality” course in the Master’s program in Computer Science, with a focus on software engineering. This initiative led to the publication of the SNAIL Report 2025, a comprehensive barometer of software development practices in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.

Increasingly sophisticated technologies are invading our spheres of activity without our prior consultation as citizens. Shouldn't the new digital tools, artificial intelligence or technologies resulting from progress in neuroscience, which are transforming our identity and social relationships, be the subject of broad and sufficiently informed democratic debates? This question is at the heart of the international "research-action" project "A new humanism in the age of neuroscience and artificial intelligence" in which UNamur is participating.
