On this page, you'll find a report on all the actions and activities initiated at the University of Namur in connection with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #16: "Peace, justice and effective institutions."

The Grandes Conférences Namuroises (GCN), a series of six conferences per academic year organized by the University of Namur, addresses topics that shed light on major societal issues: the environment, economics, culture, philosophy, literature, science, and digital technology. Come and listen to and share ideas with some of the leading figures in our society who encourage us to reflect and open our minds to the world: this is the invitation that the GCN has been extending to the public every year for more than ten years. 

The University of Namur offers training related to the theme of gender. The certificate offered aims to equip professionals in various sectors to better understand and spot gender-based violence. The master's degree in gender studies, on the other hand, promotes an interdisciplinary approach to effectively support the victims and perpetrators of such violence.

The University of Namur has resources and policy briefs related to these topics.

At the University of Namur, we have been pursuing a proactive and well-considered gender policy for several years now. As early as 2011, a working group on this topic was established. Since 2014, the University of Namur, like all French-speaking universities in Belgium and the F.R.S.-FNRS, has had a Gender Committee. This committee follows the policy guidelines set by the Vice-Rectorate in charge of gender.

Since 2014, the University of Namur has been a signatory to the Gender Contact Person Agreement with the Wallonia Brussels Federation. Here are the annual reports written by the Gender Contact Person (PCG) of the University of Namur. From 2022 onwards, the reports are biennial.Report 2021-2023 (.pdf)Report 2019-2020 (.pdf)Report 2018-2019 (.pdf)Report 2017-2018 (.pdf)Report 2016-2017 (.pdf)Report 2015-2016 (.pdf)Report 2014-2015 (.pdf)
