The Meuse and its tributaries, such as the Semois and the Sambre, are natural treasures that flow through France and Belgium. These rivers are home to a rich biodiversity, offer recreational opportunities, and, after treatment, provide clean drinking water. The shared use of these water resources requires consistent, coordinated, and sustainable management. This is the goal of the Interreg ORION project.

With the PHOENIX project, UNamur is revisiting a long-standing area of expertise: heritage sciences. Using cutting-edge techniques and artificial intelligence, a transdisciplinary team of experts in history, archaeology, and physics has set out to renew our understanding of heritage objects in order to uncover their origins, methods of production, and uses. Under their scrutiny: ancient coins and medieval parchments. 

What if, starting in high school, students could contribute to real scientific research? That is the goal of the “student-researcher” program, launched at UNamur more than fifteen years ago. Donaciene Quoirin and Lisa Salmon, law students, have experienced it firsthand. Their stories.
