Erasmus+ teaching missions In addition to learner mobility, the Erasmus+ program promotes teaching assignments for faculty members at higher education institutions. UNamur professors can thus carry out teaching assignments in a partner university, with which UNamur has concluded a bilateral exchange agreement.Thanks to this action, it is possible, among other things:To contribute to the strengthening of bilateral relations between UNamur and the partner university;To develop innovative pedagogical approaches;To exchange best practices;To acquire new skills and experience at both personal and professional levels.Eligible for this type of assignment are members of UNamur's teaching staff on the institution's payroll. This does not include temporary and freelance staff (APH) hired by UNamur.Criteria:The teaching assignment must be carried out in one of UNamur's partner institutions in Europe and, to a lesser extent, as the funding available is fairly limited, outside the EU or in an institution in the Flemish community, provided that a bilateral "Erasmus"-type agreement providing for staff mobility exists ;The assignment must involve a minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week (or for any stay of less than a week) and the hours of teaching given must be an integral part of a degree course at the host institution.The assignment must last a minimum of 2 days.The course program must be the subject of a teaching agreement between the teacher and the sending and host partner institutionsIt is also possible to combine a training stay (linked to research) with a teaching activity. In this case, the compulsory number of teaching hours is 4 (instead of 8).Caution: Erasmus+ funding cannot be requested for participation in conferences. For this type of activity, other sources of funding are available. Erasmus+ training missions The Erasmus+ program also provides funding to enable staff members at higher education institutions to undergo training at a university, company or other public or private organization in Europe and, to a lesser extent, outside the EU.This type of assignment enables the staff members concerned:To acquire knowledge or know-how based on experience and good practice elsewhere;To acquire new skills useful in the work carried out or with a view to further professional development;To create new links, particularly with new partners or companies;In the context of assignments carried out at partner institutions, to contribute to the strengthening of already existing collaborative links.Training missions can take a variety of forms: short periods of secondment, job shadowing visits, study visits, workshops, etc.Criteria:The mission must have a duration of at least 2 days.The training activities, as well as the expected results, must be described in detail in a training agreement drawn up between the staff member and the host institution and signed by the UNamur staff member's line manager.The staff member carrying out the training mission undertakes to share his or her experience with other members of the institution (close colleagues, colleagues from other entities, students, external audiences, etc.).Financial supportFinancial support granted via the Erasmus+ program is calculated on a flat-rate basis and provides for a travel package and per diem.The contribution towards travel expenses is based on the one-way distance calculated via the calculation tool of the European Commission.The contribution towards living expenses is based on the cost-of-living indices taken into account by the European Commission. Contribution to subsistence costs - Staff OUT Administrative procedureFunding applications can be submitted at any time to the International Relations Department, 3 months minimum months before the presumed start date of the assignment.For Erasmus+ teaching or training assignments lasting a maximum of 5 days of activity to an EU destination or to a third country associated with the Erasmus program, funding is in principle granted automatically and immediately, within the limit of the available annual Erasmus budget. For missions to Flanders or a third country not associated with the Erasmus program, the staff member must contact the SRI well in advance of the mission to check whether it is eligible and whether funds are available.

Every year, many international students and researchers come to the University of Namur to study, carry out research or teach. The International Relations Department (SRI), in collaboration with other departments at the University of Namur, assists many of these visitors in their endeavors.The International Relations Department (SRI), in collaboration with other departments at the University of Namur, assists many of these visitors in their endeavors.

Located in the center of the Walloon capital, the University of Namur is easily accessible, particularly on foot or by public transport. It also offers a wide range of premises of different sizes to accommodate all types of activities.

The design and analysis of the individual and collective behaviour of small biological vermiform robots: this is the objective of BABots, an ambitious interdisciplinary research project led by the University of Namur and conducted by a consortium of seven European partners. This project could lead to multiple and promising solutions in the field of agriculture, bio-industry or even industry and medicine.

At the end of January 2023, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) returned a real treasure to Belgium: a medieval charter bearing the seal of the Count of Flanders Philippe d'Alsace, formerly kept in the abbey of Messines (West Flanders), which had disappeared at the beginning of the First World War. A look back at the tribulations of this archival document, the restitution of which is the result of a fruitful collaboration between the PraME Centre of UNamur, the General Archives of the Kingdom and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In 2021, five projects were selected in the framework of the call for CANDLE 2021 projects (for a sustainable campus). These projects were led by staff members and/or students of the UNamur and financed by the Fonds Jérôme. Among them, the May'AGE project.

In January 2023, Professor Romain Houssa of UNamur led a Belgian delegation to formulate a new ARES Institutional Support (IS) programme at the University of Abomey-Calavi (UAC) in Benin. This multidisciplinary research and innovation support programme aims to strengthen scientific collaboration between FWB researchers and Benin as well as other countries in the West African region, notably Togo, Niger and Burkina Faso.

This is a first in terms of pedagogical approach: to have all the students and teachers of the Faculty of law, all blocks (bachelor in daytime and in staggered timetable) and programmes combined, work for an academic year on the same theme. From courses to practical work, including conferences, cultural and artistic events and civic engagement, all the activities proposed by the Faculty of law focus on the same theme: childhood in a migratory context. The project is called "Fill rouge" (Red thread). After a successful first four months, the momentum is building for the second half of the academic year.
