The "Center for Research in the Economics of Development" (CRED) is a research center that is part of the DeFiPP Research Institute and is dedicated to the study of development economics. More specifically, researchers work on issues relating to micro-institutions, collective action, market development and political economy. A significant part of the research carried out at CRED draws on data collected by researchers in numerous countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

The "Center for Research in Regional Economics and Economic Policy" (CERPE), within the DeFiPP Research Institute, focuses on issues related to regional economic analysis and economic policy. The center's areas of expertise are rooted in regional, interregional and international economics, industrial and competition economics, labor and personnel economics, the economics of entrepreneurship and innovation, public economics and public finance. In keeping with CERPE's mission, the research carried out combines theoretical and applied work, with a particular focus on Wallonia in the Belgian institutional landscape.

The Center for Research in Finance and Management (CeReFiM) is an interdisciplinary research center in economics and management, part of the DeFiPP Research Institute. The expertise of its members includes the application and development of quantitative tools in various fields of finance and economics, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of financial phenomena at both corporate and state level. The center's research areas cover macroeconomics and financial economics, as well as sovereign wealth funds, digital finance and financial econometrics.

The CRIDS "Digital Media and Communication" research unit, within the NADI Research Institute, brings together researchers in information and communication sciences. Through various projects, the unit has developed specific expertise in the study of digital practices, the analysis of digital and media skills, the design of critical digital education activities and the analysis of digital media corpora. Research supports a more inclusive society by empowering citizens, through a better understanding of technological and digital environments and the development of reflexive uses.

The members of the DMC unit are also members of the interdisciplinary research chair in digital education (Educ0Num).

Permanent institutional, economic, environmental and migratory tensions are transforming the way our political systems operate. Some of these effects are marginal or conjunctural, but others induce genuine transitions in our societal models over the long term.

The "Democratic Transformations" cluster, within the Transitions Research Institute, looks more specifically at how these tensions affect modes of governance citizen behavior and the conduct of public action within our political regimes from the local to the international level, via the regional and European levels.

This center brings together researchers on issues of climate governance populism representation of minorities citizen participation restructuring of electoral supply and demand personalization of political life - all these issues touching on the philosophical foundations of modern democracies.

Methodological and epistemological diversity is one of the center's strengths in studying these democratic transformations using a variety of analytical approaches (process-tracing, historical longitudinal analysis, comparative approach, case study,...) and data analysis methods (discourse analysis, machine & deep learning, interviews, ethnographic observation, quantitative analysis for panel and cross-sectional data,...).

The transformation of our societies is affecting the construction of our lives and life courses. These are traversed by a dual movement of de-standardization and de-institutionalization, leading to a gradual detachment from social roles, but also to a rise in social, cultural and gender uncertainties and inequalities. The "Transitions and the Ages of Life" section of the Institut de recherche Transitions is studying the way in which these life courses are recomposed according to new social constraints and normative imperatives. It thus focuses on the fragility of populations at any age of life, and also on the repercussions of political devices and measures on the construction of life courses.

This cluster brings together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds who analyze both the normative transformations affecting life courses and life-age transitions.

MINDIT and FOCUS are both part of the NADI Research Institute. The "Management of information and digital transformation" (MINDIT) research center is structured around three main research areas: digital strategy (emerging technologies, e-governance, new business models, enterprise architecture, sustainable IT, etc.), decision support (data analytics, business intelligence, autonomous approaches, etc.) and process digitization (decentralized applications, business process management, process mining, etc.).

As for the activities of the Foundations of Computer Science (FOCUS) center, they mainly concern two axes: the study of declarative languages and the exploration of knowledge models, extraction and visualization for analysis and decision-making.

The Center for Research in Finance and Management (CeReFiM) is an interdisciplinary research center in economics and management, part of the DeFiPP Research Institute. The expertise of its members includes the application and development of quantitative tools in various fields of finance and economics, with the aim of gaining a better understanding of financial phenomena at both corporate and state level. The center's research areas cover sustainable finance, macroeconomics and monetary economics, sovereign wealth funds, digital finance and financial econometrics, among others.

The "Namur Institute for Complex Systems" (naXys) research institute also offers research activities applying complex systems tools to the study of financial markets and interactions between economic agents.

The Creativity and Innovation Research Center (CIRCé) is part of the NADI Research Institute. Members of the center seek to better understand the dynamics of creativity and innovation in order to propose methods and tools to players, be they companies, public bodies, decision-makers or individuals. The organizational dimension and issues linked to human resources management are also developed.

The "Center for research on consumption and leisure" (CeRCLe) is a multidisciplinary research center that is part of the NADI Research Institute. CeRCLe's main mission is to actively promote theoretical and empirical, fundamental and applied research in the field of marketing and services, and more specifically in the areas of consumption and leisure.

The researchers who form the IRDENa are defined according to 2 main orientations:

1. Didactics of disciplines and in professional didactics
2. Sciences of education and training

The institute brings together researchers from a variety of disciplinary universes. This diversity is an asset, as it enables the decompartmentalization of research paradigms, research objects and methodologies in didactics and education. One field of research focuses on education for sustainable development through different prisms: corporate social responsibility, social and sustainable entrepreneurship, critical thinking and socially vivid economic issues.
