Description The histology platform provides histological preparation and analysis services for biological samples, at cost price. From tissue fixation, standard and special stainings to in situ visualization of proteins-of-interest (immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence) or nucleic acids (in situ, chromogenic or fluorescent hybridization), the platform enables researchers who frequent it to train and work in semi-autonomy on their samples. A technical team provides support in designing the project upstream and advising the researcher throughout the process, up to optical microscopy observation if necessary. The platform includes a motorized epifluorescence microscope (Olympus BX63) as well as the CellSens Dimension image analysis software, and table microscopes, all equipped with cameras. Access to the facilities is done in agreement with the technical manager, according to internal rules and booking of the requested equipment.

The University of Namur invites you to look up at the sky during UNamur Space Week. This event is part of major international initiatives such as Belgian Space Week and World Space Week, and offers a series of activities to discover the universe, understand the challenges of space exploration and explore research.

The Laboratory of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (LEBE) is headed by Professor Brendan REID. It is one of five laboratories belonging to the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) within the Department of Biology. LEBE is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth and Environment (ILEE).

The CleanAirBouw project brings together researchers and experts from France, Wallonia, and Flanders around a shared goal: to improve the quality of the air we breathe inside buildings.Through this cross-border partnership, new solutions for indoor air treatment and monitoring are being developed, along with scientific support to establish common standards between France and Belgium.

Semantic change, i.e. the evolution of word meanings over time, offers crucial information about historical, cultural and linguistic processes. Language acts as a mirror of societal change, reflecting evolving values, norms and technological advances. Understanding how the meaning of words evolves enables us to trace these transformations and gain a deeper understanding of our distant and recent past.This seminar explores how computational methods are revolutionizing our ability to analyze semantic change in historical texts, addressing a major challenge in the field of digital humanities. While advanced computational methods enable us to analyze vast datasets and uncover previously inaccessible patterns, few natural language processing algorithms fully take into account the dynamic nature of language, particularly semantics, which is essential for research in the humanities. As AI systems develop to better understand the historical context and dynamics of language, human annotation and interpretation remain essential to capture the nuances of language and its cultural context.In this presentation, I will show how computational and human-centered approaches can be effectively combined to examine semantic change and its links to cultural and technological developments. I will present examples illustrating how semantic change can be analyzed across temporal, cultural and textual dimensions."Methods "seminarsThe Methods Seminar is a series of seminars organized at the University of Namur with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange.
