Seeking computer scientists... desperately!

The Faculty of Computer Science is active and internationally renowned in various disciplines, including theoretical computer science, software engineering and artificial intelligence. It conducts research in these disciplines, from their theoretical foundations to practical applications, in collaboration with industry. It also promotes an interdisciplinary approach to the societal impact of computer science, notably through collaboration with several research institutes.

Informatics is one of the pillars of our society. The Faculty of Computer Science therefore has a particular duty to provide services to society.Concretely, these services materialize in particular through the creation of synergies between researchers and industry, through involvement in a partnership with the Government of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, and through the provision of knowledge and know-how.

The University of Namur created the e-Government Chair in order to offer, mainly to the public sector, independent expertise concerning digital governance. The Chair ensures a technological and scientific watch in the various aspects of digital governance (technical, legal, managerial and strategic) and pursues consultancy, training and scientific research missions.

The Digital Education Chair aims to support research related to the issues of digitizing our society and educating citizens and workers in digital media and technologies. As a grouping of interdisciplinary expertise in the field of digital education, it enables innovative and complex approaches to these issues. The Chair is in line with UNamur's strategic development axes and supports a network of collaborations between its members and between disciplines.

Members mainly come from two research institutes within the University of Namur:the Namur Digital Institute (NaDI) whose research is devoted to the various issues of digital technologies, in their technical, societal, educational, ethical, media, regulatory and management aspects;the Institut de Recherche en Didactiques et Éducation de l'Université de Namur (IRDENa) whose mission is to foster the emergence of new research objects and methodologies in the field of education, stemming from a variety of disciplinary anchors.The twenty or so members, academics and researchers, active within the Chair currently fall into seven disciplinary fields: computer science, computer didactics, media and digital literacy, information literacy, educational science, science and technology studies and gender studies. In order to enrich the issues addressed, the Chair will of course be open to all researchers and academics interested in the theme of digital education within the university.

One of the recent projects is by Guillaume Mele and Charlotte Sine: "MOOC: aim for success, become a super student!"Funding: UNAMURBased on 20 years' experience of methodological support for students, this project aims to develop personalized, automated online courses on FUN-MOOC, a platform designed primarily to transmit content. The success of the MOOC testifies to the researchers' experience in implementing online courses and creating complex pedagogical architectures.Duration: 01/09/2018 - 31/08/2024

The Faculty of Computer Science, via its teachers and researchers, is very active internationally: internationally recognized research groups, organization of research seminars to which scientists from other universities are invited in order to promote new research horizons, mobility of our researchers which starts right from the start of their thesis when they travel abroad to take part in international congresses.

The Faculty of Computer Science has organized itself to manage its missions in the best possible way. It has around a hundred members at the service of teaching, research and service to society.
