The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of human beings, pathologies and medicines is the key to fighting disease. But the essence of the medical art is practiced in contact with patients, who are looking for a doctor who is rigorous, with solid knowledge and sound reasoning, but who is also deeply warm and human.
The Department of Pharmacy at the University of Namur is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge in the field of pharmacology and pharmaceutical research. It organizes training programs covering pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, pharmaceutical analysis and medicinal chemistry. It also contributes to the continuing education of pharmacists in collaboration with the Société scientifique des pharmaciens francophones, and hosts the PHARMAFUN alumni association. Finally, it is committed to a training program focused on international openness, the implementation of a quality system and the integration of innovative pedagogies.
Created in 1978, the Department of Psychology has carried out extensive research in various fields of the humanities and social sciences as well as health, with a particular interest in vulnerable people, neuroscience and eHealth.
The Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Namur focuses on the development of tools and techniques dedicated to understanding the functioning of the human body at the molecular, cellular and organic levels. Its aim is to create new therapies and technological devices to improve people's health and quality of life. By training tomorrow's researchers with an active and innovative teaching approach, the department prepares students for their future.In addition, it offers students the chance to discover a variety of professional opportunities right from the Bachelier, whether in Belgium or internationally, by collaborating directly with companies!
In the Western tradition, philosophy represents a radical effort to understand reality. Philosophy casts an astonished, questioning gaze on the world around it and on mankind. The philosopher rejects the easy "obvious" and asks why things are the way they are. Rather than a discipline juxtaposed with others, philosophy as a critical approach thus constitutes an attitude and a spirit that apply to all registers, particularly intellectual, of human activity.
Welcome to the official website of the Thematic Doctoral School in Education Sciences (EDT-Educ).EDT-Educ is an inter-university structure supported by the F.R.S.-FNRS, which brings together doctoral students engaged in research in education sciences and teaching in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. It aims to provide a stimulating, collaborative, and structured environment for doctoral research by promoting scientific exchange, advanced training, and visibility for the work being carried out.
The BL3 laboratory at the University of Namur is a high-security biological facility dedicated to research on class 3 pathogenic microorganisms. This technological platform allows researchers to handle these agents under optimal containment conditions, in accordance with the strictest biosafety standards.
The Genomics platform at the University of Namur advises researchers on the technologies to use to conduct genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic analyses and for cell editing using viral vectors.
The Life Sciences technology platform at the University of Namur offers quality services for the housing and care of animals used in experimental research. With a total surface area of 1,180 m², it comprises two distinct areas: conventional and SPF (Specific Pathogen Free).Standardized and rigorous operating procedures guarantee the quality of research and animal welfare.
The Synthesis, Irradiation, and Analysis of Materials (SIAM) platform relies on its ability to use and combine different spectroscopies (XPS, ToF-SIMS, and IBA) to characterize materials. These techniques enable a comprehensive evaluation of almost all types of samples, such as metals, welds, glass, polymers, powders, liquids, in vivo biological materials, etc.One of SIAM's main strengths is its unique expertise in various spectroscopy techniques (high and low energies) that can be coupled with nuclear analysis. This is made possible by state-of-the-art equipment, a philosophy of constant development, and a highly qualified team.
The Mass Spectrometry Platform (MaSUN) at the University of Namur specializes in mass spectrometry analyses, covering proteomics and the identification of small molecules.It supports academic and industrial projects, from sample preparation to data analysis, with recognized expertise in quantification, molecular characterization, and metabolomic studies.
Methodological platform for the humanities and social sciences
The methodological needs that led to the creation of SHS Impulse are essential to ensuring the quality of research in the humanities and social sciences (HSS). An innovative system is available to offer support tailored to researchers' needs and to strengthen excellence in HSS at UNamur.The methodological platform offers financial support for access to methodological resources in SHS in the form of co-financing for several activities.
