The CRef is deeply concerned by the outbreak of violence in Kivu.

We study the properties of diverse photonic systems such as metamaterials, photonic crystals and plasmonic systems. Our expertise lies in the use and development of numerical codes in optics, coupled with models combining classical and quantum electrodynamics to study innovative and applied photonic systems. Particular attention is paid to machine learning developments in photonics, as well as to applications geared towards "green photonics".

We are interested in understanding fundamental physics and the use of light technologies. We stand at the crossroads of analytical developments in classical and quantum electrodynamics and an intensively developed toolbox in numerical simulation for photonic systems. Our aim is to stay as close as possible to experimental fabrication and characterization.

The research team is led by Principal Investigator (PI) Professor Michaël Lobet, Qualified Researcher FNRS, who is a member of the Department of Physics, and is also affiliated with the NISM (Pôle de recherche NOP).

They are future veterinarians, doctors, lawyers, historians, geographers, or even computer scientists, and they share this common point: the concern to train themselves, voluntarily, in the challenges of sustainable development and transition. Since October 2024, 25 mainly 3rd-year students from various UNamur faculties have been taking part in a pilot experiment: the Journées de l'Education au Développement Durable et à la Transition (JEDDT). This Monday, March 17, they presented in a creative form, the fruit of their reflection after 6 months of training.

Gather your colleagues and friends to compete against teams from other faculties, labs, departments, kots or student circles, all to the sound of the best hits from the 70s, 80s, 90s... to today! A convivial atmosphere guaranteed. An evening party will follow the quiz for the most motivated.A bar will also be organized during the event.All proceeds from the event will be donated to Operation Télévie in aid of scientific cancer research.Price staff members/adults: €5Price students: €3 More info on the fight against cancer and Télévie: https://www.unamur.be/fr/soutenir/televie

The theme of sustainable development appears as an important element in university education and is part of the priorities of the University of Namur, as recalled in the Charter of our Institution: "the training of students and researchers who are responsible actors in society constitutes the primary objective of the University."Numerous initiatives exist within UNamur in the field of education linked to sustainable development, in fields as varied as economics, law, computer science, physical, chemical and biological sciences, medical and biomedical sciences, geography, philosophy, history, continuing teacher training, language teaching, North-South cooperation...
