For many years, the university community, its alumni, and its partners have been rallying to support cancer research through the Télévie campaign. All donations collected are donated to the FNRS.
The project
Every year in Belgium, 80,000 people are diagnosed with cancer and 30,000 die from the disease. To give hope to all patients, cancer research remains a major priority. In just a few decades, research has significantly improved the chances of surviving certain types of cancer. However, other tumors are resistant to treatment or have a high recurrence rate. Scientists therefore continue to work every day to understand the disease and develop new therapies. UNamur has several laboratories actively involved in the fight against cancer, within the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Sciences, and the NARILIS research institute.
Your donations in action: together, we’re making a difference
Thanks to your support, UNamur organizes various initiatives and provides additional resources to Télévie scientists who work every day to develop new treatments that are more effective against tumors and less harmful to healthy cells.
Télévie research projects at UNamur
In 2026, no fewer than eight Télévie research projects are underway at UNamur, exploring innovative approaches to better understand and treat pancreatic, lung, breast, and skin cancers, colorectal cancer, glioblastoma, and head and neck cancer. This work draws on a wide range of expertise, taking an interdisciplinary approach, with the goal of improving treatment effectiveness and patients’ quality of life.
