Jean Loubry invites us to stay at home, in our beautiful Province of Namur. So this will be a journey among poets from Namur and the surrounding area. Some names are more famous than others, but what we hope above all is to help you discover the many facets of a poetry that is so close to home and yet sometimes so little known.

Mozart's music seems to flow from the source , or to sparkle like champagne , so obvious, pleasant and natural is it . The diversity of melodies seems limitless , the "Divine Mozart" had such an imagination...And yet, when we strain an attentive and discerning ear, we notice that all the first movements of all Mozart's sonatas, concertos, symphonies, quartets, etc. are built exactly and rigorously on the same pattern.But what is this common, inescapable framework to which Mozart submits with equal talent and humility, and which he plays with with all the genius we know about him?And which can be found, incredibly identical, in the Little Night Music or the 40th Symphony, for example?This is what Charlotte Messiaen invites us to discover, in words and in music!"

Since the dawn of time, mankind has perceived the Sun's influence on our life on Earth. However, in recent decades, with the widespread use of technology and electricity in all our activities, our society has become increasingly closely exposed and vulnerable to bursts of solar activity. Today, more than ever before, the Sun interferes with every aspect of our daily lives, including major societal issues such as energy and climate change.This conference will provide an opportunity to review the impressive phenomena of solar activity and their short- and long-term impact on our terrestrial environment: solar flares, coronal mass ejections, particle storms. All this magnetic activity originates inside the Sun, and is marked by an 11-year cycle that has varied considerably over the centuries. We'll be taking stock of our current understanding of this cyclical phenomenon, which turns out to be a genuine magnetic recycling process.As we pass through a peak in solar activity today, this will be an opportunity to look ahead to the future and the central role the Sun can play as a source of multiple energies to build a viable future for mankind. For us, the future will inevitably involve the Sun! More info Cost sharing Utan members in good standing : 5€Non-members : 7€

In practice Who are the workshops for? Workshops are aimed at children between the ages of 9 and 12. The number of children per workshop is limited to 12 to ensure optimal learning. What are the workshop themes? Workshops enable children to discover science and technology through a variety of themes: water pollution, astronomy, electricity, cinema and history. On Wednesday June 11, the workshop will be dedicated to the fascinating discovery of bats, swallows and swifts. This fun and educational workshop will allow children to explore the mysterious world of these incredible flying creatures.What time do the workshops take place?The workshops run from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm with reception from 1:30 pm and childcare until 4:30 pm. What are the fees for the workshops? Participation in all workshops costs€10 per child. This price includes supervision, materials and a snack for each Wednesday. Who organizes the workshops? The workshops are organized by the Confluent des Savoirs, UNamur's research outreach and dissemination unit. The team, experts in the transmission of knowledge, works in collaboration with university researchers to offer workshops in which your children question, reflect and experiment while having fun!

Synopsis The spreading of internet-based technologies since the mid-90s has led to a paradigm shift from monolithic centralized information systems to distributed information systems based upon the composition of software components, interacting with each other and of heterogeneous natures. The popularity of these systems is nowadays such that our everyday life is touched by them.Classically concurrent and distributed systems are coded by using the message passing paradigm-according to which components exchange information by sending and receiving messages. In the aim of clearly separating computational and interactional aspects of computations, Gelernter and Carriero have proposed an alternative framework in which components interact through the availability of information placed on a shared space. Their framework has been concretized in a language called Linda. A series of languages, referred to nowadays as coordination languages, have been developed afterwards. In addition to providing a more declarative framework, such languages nicely fit applications like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, in which users share information by adding it or consulting it in a common place. Such systems are in fact particular cases of so-called socio-technical systems in which humans interact with machines and their environments through complex dependencies. As coordination languages nicely meet social networks, the question naturally arises whether they can also nicely code socio-technical systems. However, answering this question first requires to see how well programs written in coordination languages can reflect what they are assumed to model.This thesis aims at addressing these two questions. To that end, we shall use the Bach coordination language developed at the University of Namur as a representative of Linda-like languages. We shall extend it in a language named Multi-Bach to be able to code and reason on socio-technical systems. We will also introduce a workbench Anemone to support the modelling of such systems. Finally, we will evidence the interest of our approach through the coding of several social-technical systems.
