Jeanne Nérac, president of the AGE and a pharmacy student, and Thibault Lesage, a computer science student, are embarking on a sporting and humanitarian raid in Juliette, their yellow 4L. From 16 to 26 February 2023, they will travel through the roads of Spain and the desert of Morocco to reach Marrakech.

The 3rd Global Uniservitate Symposium was held in Rome on 27 and 28 October 2022, under the theme "Service Learning and the Global Compact on Education: Educating for Fraternity in Higher Education". More than 30 Catholic institutions from 26 countries in 5 continents participated in this event, which aimed to promote integral formation and to actively involve the new generations in the problems of our time.

Networks are fundamental to the modelling of complex systems, systems composed of an incredibly large number of interacting parts. Applications are numerous, in neuroscience, epidemiology, but also in computer science and engineering. A collaboration between the University of Catania (Italy) and the University of Namur, led by Professor Timoteo Carletti of the Department of Mathematics (naXys Institute), has developed a new formalism that allows the modelling of systems where several parts interact at the same time (multi-body) and in an asymmetric way. This research has been published in the prestigious journal Communication Physics, part of the Nature group.

The UNamur participates in the state visit to Lithuania.

Marauders, apples and activities in the heart of nature for a family day in one of the largest high-stem orchards in Wallonia.

Let's go and discover the qualified researchers of UNamur, winners of the funding granted by the FNRS in 2022. Today, we meet Michaël Lobet, currently a lecturer at UNamur, who will begin his new mandate as a qualified FNRS researcher at the NISM Institute next fall. The subject of his research: twisted optics for the manipulation of slow photons or how to create light traps. Explanations.

Since 1996, the European Radiation Research Society (ERRS) has awarded the Bacq and Alexander Prize each year to an outstanding European researcher in recognition of the recipient's achievements in the field of radiation research. This year, the award was presented to Professor Carine Michiels, from the University of Namur.

The lysosome, a small intracellular organelle, is often represented as the stomach of the cell due to its acidity and the presence of numerous digestive enzymes within it. Its role? The degradation of numerous molecules and their recycling to build new molecules and fuel energy production in the cells. Since 2003, Marielle Boonen has been particularly interested in the lysosome. Together with researchers from UNamur, she has highlighted the role of a lysosomal enzyme called HYAL1 in the bone remodelling process.

In the summer of 2022, Jeanne Nérac took up her duties as President of the General Assembly of UNamur Students (AGE). At 21, she is a bachelor student in pharmacy. This dynamic student, who has fallen in love with the Namur campus, wishes to place this new academic year under the sign of enthusiasm and collective work. Interview.

Mohamed Chellegui (University of Sfax) and Yathreb Naghmouchi (University of Carthage), PhD students of Tunisian origin, have just completed their research stays at the Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Namur (NISM Institute) under the supervision of Professor Benoît Champagne. These exchanges were made possible thanks to the Erasmus + International Credit Mobility programme and the International Relations Service of UNamur. A look back at an enriching experience from both a scientific and human point of view.
