Inspired by ZEvent, a charity event that brings together top streamers over several days to raise funds for a nonprofit organization, the Computer Club wanted to adapt the concept to its own scale. “ZEvent really inspired us, and we thought: why not us? We have a lot of knowledge, we’re good with tech, we have contacts with the university’s IT department… So we wanted to create our own event,” explain Fabio, the 2025–2026 president of the IT Club, and Corentin, his predecessor.

The concept is simple: for 24 hours, students go live on the Twitch streaming platform to raise as many donations as possible for Télévie. “Every time we hit a milestone, we complete challenges. And throughout the live stream, we take turns, play video games, and chat.” While only one screen is broadcast live, about ten other computers are made available to students for playing games simultaneously, along with a space equipped with a Nintendo Switch and a PlayStation 3.

“It took us over four hours to turn the Cercle Info space into a streaming room,” the students explain. “We had to set up the computers and consoles, run the cables, configure the network, and make sure everything was working before going live…”
Beyond the charitable goal, this experience also left a lasting impression on the students on a personal level. “It’s a little stressful, but mostly it’s full of good memories,” they confide. “During the night, we’re all tired and the slightest thing sets us off laughing. And it brings us closer together—we rarely get the chance to spend 24 hours together.” ”
Organizing this event also helps bridge the gap between classroom theory and practical application. “Everything related to networking, for example, we learn about in class, but here we understand exactly how it works in practice.” A unique experience that the students hope to continue within the Faculty.

The event also received support from several university departments. In particular, the School of Computer Science lent equipment such as tables, chairs, and cables. The IT Department provided technical assistance by adapting the university’s network. Finally, the Fundraising Office also supported the initiative, enabling this student project to be incorporated into UNamur’s broader campaign in support of Télévie.

In his research, Antoine Hubermont, a member of naXys (Namur Institute for Complex Systems), focuses specifically on the infrastructure that enables the operation of Galileo, the European satellite navigation system. 

“We use it every day, but few people know that we have a European GPS, Galileo, based on a constellation of satellites orbiting more than 23,000 kilometers above Earth,” he explains. 

Using artificial intelligence methods, Antoine Hubermont is developing tools capable of predicting the onset of failures. 

More specifically, the Monsater project aims to create a platform that allows for visualizing and predicting the status of this equipment, assessing the risk of failure, and identifying anomalies in order to initiate a process to restore their functions. The platform integrates and combines the detection and prediction capabilities of artificial intelligence-based solutions with the technical capabilities of robotic solutions. 

In this work, Antoine Hubermont is supervised by Professor Elio Tuci, a member of naXys and professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at UNamur. 

International Women's Day (UN), also known as "International Day of Struggle for Women's Rights" (UN Women), is celebrated every year on March 8. This day highlights the struggles for women's rights and, more broadly, for the elimination of inequalities between women and men.  

Although International Women's Day was made official by the United Nations in 1977, following on from the International Women's Year proclaimed in 1975 by the UN General Assembly, its origins date back to the social movements that emerged in North America and Europe at the turn of the 20th century. 

The fight against gender discrimination is a priority at UNamur, which is firmly committed to promoting gender equality, non-discrimination, and respect for diversity.  

UNamur's goal is to create an inclusive university community where everyone can thrive, regardless of gender. By embracing diversity and taking concrete measures, the university affirms its commitment to a more equitable society based on the values of justice, inclusion, and respect for human dignity. 

Their book "Cinématech - Twenty Works to Understand Digital Technology" is primarily educational in nature, as it allows readers to better understand digital technology and its challenges. But the originality of the approach chosen by the two authors makes it both entertaining and informative. 

"The idea is simple: use 20 films and series to illustrate the history of digital technology, three important technologies (AI, robotics, XR) and their challenges. To do this, we start with Terminator, Her, Wall-E, Minority Report, and many others to make these subjects accessible," explains Anthony Simonofski, Professor in the Faculty of Economics, Management, Political Science, and Communication (EMCP).

"With the book, we can expand on the podcast's content, providing greater consistency and scientific references," explains Benoit Vanderose, professor in the Faculty of Computer Science. 

This new book is aimed at three audiences: 

• Those who want to better understand digital technology without jargon
• Film buffs curious to see their favorite works from a different angle
• Teachers and trainers looking for concrete materials to discuss digital technology in the classroom
