Events to talk about science… in a different way

Chill & Sciences au Pavillon

A simple and user-friendly concept

For nearly 20 years, the University of Namur has been hosting these scientific culture events in welcoming, accessible venues: cafés, museums, cultural centers, and more. The idea? To create a space for dialogue where everyone can ask questions, share ideas, and gain a better understanding of the world around them.
