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.SIAM has several facilities for the functionalization of materials and/or the synthesis of thin films by plasma treatments.Our experience, acquired through several projects funded by the European Commission and regional authorities, qualifies us to analyze complex samples such as nanoparticles in complex matrices (food, culture media, cells from in vitro experiments, and organs from in vivo experiments).

Charlotte Beaudart, a lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine's Department of Biomedical Sciences, has been awarded the Mandat Start-Up Collen-Francqui! A prestigious distinction awarded by the Francqui Foundation to support promising young researchers in the development of their research program.

In the hall of the Faculty of Medicine still sits the first transmission electron microscope, a Philips EM300 used at the Facultés Notre-Dame de la Paix in the 70s. The history of electron microscopy at UNamur began, but the real start was made in 1975 with the acquisition of three more microscopes: two transmission and one scanning. In February 2018, when the technology platforms were created, this department was attached to the MORPH-IM platform, and in April 2024 became the independent "Electron Microscopy" platform, UNamur's 11th technology platform.

The combination of these techniques with the presence of two research logisticians and a technician dedicated to sample analysis, as well as highly qualified researchers for the development of advanced applications, reflects the strategic intent of this platform. Among these characterization techniques, solid-state NMR and X-ray diffraction are the most advanced and unique characterization tools.Synthesis, Irradiation and Analysis of Materials (SIAM)The SIAM platform specializes in the advanced synthesis and characterization of materials and nanomaterials. It actively contributes to fundamental research in (bio)materials science, particularly in terms of characterizing surfaces, interfaces and ion/material interactions, in collaboration with international university laboratories. SIAM's analytical capabilities enable it to study a wide range of samples from fields as diverse as materials science, life sciences and heritage science. One of SIAM's key assets is its recognized expertise in spectroscopy (XPS and ToF-SIMS), which can be coupled with nuclear analysis (Ion Beam Analysis or IBA). Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, all support is provided by a highly qualified team in a dynamic of continuous development and innovation. As part of the University of Namur, SIAM is a privileged partner both for academic research projects and for the provision of services to industrial and institutional players.Lasers, Optics and Spectroscopies (LOS)The LOS platform is developing its expertise around optical methods for the study of materials. LOS recently acquired a Raman scattering microscope for the analysis of liquids, powders, solids and thin films, both organic and inorganic. This technique can be used to identify a sample's chemical composition and structure, as well as certain properties of the medium. Raman spectroscopy can be used to characterize polymers, nanomaterials, pharmacological compounds, geological materials, precious stones, heritage objects and food products, to name but a few. In imaging mode, this technique can map the distribution of a compound in a heterogeneous sample, as well as detect traces. Practical information Registration required before November 4, 2025.

From August 25 to 31, the University of Namur welcomed 16 PhD students from partner universities of the European UNIVERSEH alliance for an immersive week at the Euro Space Center on the theme of sustainable space exploration. A promising first edition for this SciArts Lab Week, imagined and organized in collaboration with KIKK ASBL and the University of Luxembourg.

Nature is a spectacle! Every year, the Festival International Nature Namur (FINN) devotes an entire week to highlighting the beauty of the natural world. Its mission is clear: to amaze in order to raise awareness. Through exceptional images, the festival invites the public to discover the wealth of nature that surrounds them, and encourages them to adopt responsible behavior towards their environment.Created in 1995, FINN has become an unmissable event for lovers of nature and spectacular images. With over 35,000 visitors each year, three international competitions (photography, amateur and professional films) and a host of activities, it now ranks among the top five European events dedicated to nature.Among the highlights, the nature village brings together the festival's partners. UNamur will be hosting a stand showcasing the best shots from the Biology department's multidisciplinary trip. Fun activities will also enable the public to discover nature from a scientific angle. Brochures and information on training courses related to the festival's themes will also be available.The FINN is also organizing an Environment Day, dedicated to the major issues affecting biodiversity and human well-being. This year, it will take place on October 16 and feature three themed sessions followed by debates led by experts. For this 31st edition, the speakers will be professors Jean-Yves Storme, geologist, and Nicolas Dendoncker, geographer, as well as Manon Poignet, researcher at the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (University of Namur, Faculty of Science, Biology Department, ILEE Institute).
