This thesis presents a novel approach to address the challenges of deploying and managing Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) in resource-constrained and multi-domain environments. The proposed solution leverages a Raspberry Pi clusterbased approach for NFV deployment in resource-constrained environments, combined with a deployable Sidecar VNF (S-VNF) coordinator for multi-domain NFV orchestration.The thesis demonstrates the feasibility of integrating NFV into edge computing environments by successfully deploying and managing Network Services (NSs) on a Raspberry Pi cluster. The S-VNF coordinator facilitates efficient cross-cloud NFV deployment and management while ensuring security and interoperability.While the obtained deployment and scaling delays in the testbed setup were significant due to the bare-metal deployment process used, the proposed solution remains valuable in environments where service maintenance time is a critical factor.By automating deployment and scaling, organizations can minimize the impact of service maintenance time, improve customer satisfaction, and enhance system resilience. Moreover, the solution enables NFV to be deployed effectively in edge environments, providing benefits such as reduced latency and improved network performance.Overall, this thesis contributes to the advancement of NFV by providing innovative solutions for deployment and management in challenging environments. The proposed framework has the potential to enable the widespread adoption of NFV and drive the development of new network services.Directed by Prof. Laurent SCHUMACHER and Prof. Sokchenda SRENG.In front of a jury composed of:Prof. Wim VANHOOF, President, University of NamurProf. Laurent SCHUMACHER, Co-Promoter, University of NamurProf. Sokchenda SRENG, Co-Promoter, ITC Graduate School (Cambodia)Prof. Florentin ROCHET, Internal Member, University of NamurProf. Johann MARQUEZ-BARJA, External Member, University of AntwerpProf. Bruno QUOITIN, External Member, University of MonsProf. Raveth HIN, External Member, ITC Graduate School (Cambodia)You are cordially invited to a drink, which will follow the public defense.For good organization, please give your answer by Thursday March 20 by means of this link.Contact: Daelman Isabelle - isabelle.daelman@unamur.be

This is the story of several departures. Those we choose, those we undergo. Between necessities, ruptures and exiles, ten young people confront stories of flight and wonder what maps our life paths.L'Ile en motte de beurre is a collective creation that explores the act of leaving a place, a person, a time in one's life. Through the intersecting narratives of ten characters, the show plunges into the intimate and the universal: fleeing a flooded city, learning independence through Erasmus, leaving a home where you no longer exist, detaching from a childhood friendship, confronting the failure of miscalculated autonomy. The show plays with temporal breaks, fragmented memories and echoes between stories. L'Ile questions our own relationship to departures in a mosaic of narratives. This project proposes a collective journey in which each spectator is invited to ask: what departures have shaped me?"Admission price: UNamur members €5 / outside €7 Sign up

Reconciling family life and a political career in the European Parliament poses major challenges, particularly for MEPs with young children. This is demonstrated by Elena Frech, researcher at the University of Namur, in her recent research on work-life balance in European institutions.

At the University of Namur, we firmly believe that human dignity is inviolable and must be protected. Inspired by our Jesuit heritage, and building on our values (humanness, sustainability, freedom, excellence and openness), we are committed to creating an environment where every individual is respected, valued and celebrated.

At the University of Namur, we are firmly committed to promoting gender equality, non-discrimination and respect for diversity. Our policy is based on the values of justice, inclusion and respect for human dignity.

At the university, every student does more than attend classes: each and every one contributes to a community based on respect, solidarity and integrity. These values are essential to guarantee an environment in which to flourish to the full.This information accompanies the Student Code of Good Conduct and makes it easier to understand.

The university must set an example in terms of sustainable development in all three dimensions (economic, social, and environmental) through the way it manages its infrastructure and assets to be "sustainable in form," as well as through its commitment, as an educational and research institution, to actively contribute to environmental transition to be "sustainable in substance." All of this must be in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Law students at UNamur, Marilyn Emmerechts and Delphine Blomme are part of the MUN Society Belgium (MSB), an organization that offers debate simulations in UN committees. In March, their team travelled to Manila, Philippines, to compete in the World Student Diplomacy Championships, organized by Harvard University. For five days, they debated alongside over 1,000 students. Interview.

This year, the concept for the end-of-season concert by "La Vaubane", UNamur's university choir, will be "Triptychs in music": groups of 3 songs in a variety of styles will follow one another, linked together by an element... but can you figure out which one?September, Soir d'octobre, "gare du Nord en novembre"... And bam, it clicks! Signore delle cime, Ferrat's La Montagne, Climb Ev'ry Moutain from La Mélodie du Bonheur... The mountain is beautiful, but it climbs! Yesterday, Il a neigé sur Yesterday, Now and Then... Beatles power! And many more...Interlude, the "Lytha" choir from Namur's Conservatoire Baltazar-Florence, made up of young choristers aged 13 to 17 and directed by Alexandra Dory, will liven up the evening with a few songs from their repertoire.As you'll have gathered, there'll be something for everyone, and you won't leave without several tunes running through your head!So save the date in your diary and get your heart pumping with La Vaubane!TicketingOnly on site, no reservations possible, payment in cash- €10 (Full price)- €8 (UTAN / ACJ)- €5 (Students / UNamur staff)- Free (Under 12s / Art. 27)Free seating - doors open at 7pm. 1h30 without intermission Locations and parkingMain entrance (ground floor) via rue de l'Arsenal - Secondary entrance via boulevard Frère Orban.Parking " Bon Pasteur " (29 spaces), Parking de l'Arsenal (98 spaces) - Boulevard Frère Orban along La SambreInfos : 081 72 50 88 - ateliers.vecu@unamur.be
