The University of Namur has announced the development of a major project aimed at increasing the availability of student housing and creating modern sports facilities just a stone's throw from the city center, on Avenue des Croix du Feu. The project is part of the institution's policy to improve the quality of life on campus. The site will also be accessible to external partners, including Henallux. The consortium comprising Thomas & Piron Bâtiment and DDS+ has been selected to carry out the project. A permit has just been submitted and a public inquiry will be held from February 2 to 16, 2026. 

How can women be better protected against the risks of thrombosis associated with the contraceptive pill? Researchers from the Department of Pharmacy at UNamur have just developed an innovative prediction model that can estimate the risk of thrombosis associated with taking combined oral contraceptives at an earlier stage. The ultimate goal is to support healthcare professionals in prescribing the right pill for each patient. 

At its meeting on January 23, 2026, the Board of Directors (BoD) of UNamur appointed its chair and vice-chair from among its members. Pierre Crevits, CEO of Dexia and chair of the BoD of Namur Invest, succeeds Cédric Visart de Bocarmé. Jacques Gérard (member of the ATG body) will now serve as Vice-Chair of the Board. Their term of office will be four years.
