His long-term collaboration with Dr. Aniruddha Chatterjee recently resulted in the first collaborative framework agreement between the University of Otago and UNamur, as well as an international Erasmus+ (EU) credit mobility funding this scientific mission. Frédéric Silvestre deepened his understanding of the advanced DNA methylation techniques employed by Dr. Chatterjee's team, including their bioinformatics workflows and innovative approach to epigenetic editing. He has given several seminars presenting LEAP's research on mangrove rivulus and turquoise molefish. He also presented at the Australasian Epigenetic Alliance conference and had the opportunity to explore potential new collaborations with other departments, including zoology, sustainable development, chemistry and marine sciences.

This is the story of several departures. Those we choose, those we undergo. Between necessities, ruptures and exiles, ten young people confront stories of flight and wonder what maps our life paths.L'Ile en motte de beurre is a collective creation that explores the act of leaving a place, a person, a time in one's life. Through the intersecting narratives of ten characters, the show plunges into the intimate and the universal: fleeing a flooded city, learning independence through Erasmus, leaving a home where you no longer exist, detaching from a childhood friendship, confronting the failure of miscalculated autonomy. The show plays with temporal breaks, fragmented memories and echoes between stories. L'Ile questions our own relationship to departures in a mosaic of narratives. This project proposes a collective journey in which each spectator is invited to ask: what departures have shaped me?"Admission price: UNamur members €5 / outside €7 Sign up
