The Grandes Conférences Namuroises (GCN), a series of six conferences per academic year organized by the University of Namur, addresses topics that shed light on major societal issues: the environment, economics, culture, philosophy, literature, science, and digital technology. Come and listen to and share ideas with some of the leading figures in our society who encourage us to reflect and open our minds to the world: this is the invitation that the GCN has been extending to the public every year for more than ten years.
