Last PUNCH session

/04/23 - "Exploring critical thinking: some epistemological avenues" - Olivier Sartenaer

In what sense would critical thinking be linked to scientific culture? And above all, how can critical thinking and scientific culture be promoted in concert?

Call for PUNCH projects

The fourth call for PUNCh projects has been launched!

The University of Namur supports and accompanies pedagogical innovations. More than 35 educational initiatives have thus received financial support since 2013.

You're a whiz in your field and want to offer your students original, active, fun teaching methods to enhance learning? You need a little help to finalize your good idea, the calls for projects proposed by the PUNCh service offers support for various pedagogical initiatives.

The fourth call was launched in May 2023. 5 projects were selected and will receive support for the next two academic years.
