How can a group of robots be enabled to make the right decision, even when some of the information is incorrect? An international team, including Timoteo Carletti, director of the Department of Mathematics at UNamur and a member of the naXys Institute, drew inspiration from bees. Published in *Nature Communications*, their research could help make swarms of robots more reliable and autonomous. 

Edited by two professors from UNamur, this anthology brings together the work of 18 researchers focusing on some 50 rare books, selected from among the more than 900 editions by Christophe Plantin held by the University. Supported by the Institut Moretus Plantin Public Benefit Foundation, this project marks the first step leading up to the launch, in September, of a new research initiative on multilingualism and translation practices in the editions of the Antwerp printer. 

How are our social identities formed? Are they simply inherited, like a last name or a family history passed down at birth? Or are they built gradually, at the intersection of family legacies, educational choices, and the social contexts in which children grow up? These questions lie at the heart of the work of Juliette Crespin-Boucaud, a postdoctoral researcher and Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the Center for Research in Development Economics (CRED) at the University of Namur. To mark European Researchers’ Night, UNamur is highlighting several research projects conducted under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA).
