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.

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

Projects and support SETT supportSince 2019, the salon SETT "School, Education, Transformation, Technology" has welcomed Belgian and international experts to train teachers and nurture their reflections on issues surrounding digital in education. It is the largest French-speaking Belgian fair on this theme, bringing together teachers from all levels of education and all disciplines.The University of Namur participates in the fair's scientific committee, selecting quality speakers and contributing with its most cutting-edge research.Find here the members of the Chair who participate in the SETT scientific committeeThe PRE-SETT 2025 workshopBreaking the code(s): Beyond injunctions and paradoxes on digital in educationPre-SETT date: January 22, 2025Since 2019, the SETT trade show - "School, Education, Transformation, Technology" has welcomed Belgian and international experts to train teachers and nurture their thoughts on issues surrounding digital in education. It is the largest French-language event of its kind in Belgium, bringing together teachers from all levels of education and all disciplines. The University of Namur participates in the show's scientific committee, selecting top-quality speakers and contributing its own research to the themes addressed.To strengthen this link between research and the field of education, the University of Namur's Chaire Educ0Num has also been organizing an annual scientific event since 2024, taking place the day before the show: the Pré-SETT. This takes the form of a study day and brings together researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to collectively advance scientific questioning, the results of which are then communicated more widely at the show.This year, the Pré-SETT study day will focus on the theme: "Breaking the code(s): Beyond injunctions and paradoxes on digital in education".Would you like to take part?

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.

A series of events and players revolve around the Faculty of Computer Science.

The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of human beings, pathologies and medicines is the key to fighting disease. But the essence of the medical art is practiced in contact with patients, who are looking for a doctor who is rigorous, with solid knowledge and sound reasoning, but who is also deeply warm and human.

Reflecting on major contemporary issues As an extension of the department's teaching and supervisory missions, research plays an important role. This feeds directly into the department's teaching, and more particularly into third-year courses and seminars. Research organization It aims to mobilize the tools of the philosophical tradition in the service of an understanding of major contemporary issues: philosophies of existence, ecological upheavals, relationship to the future, common goods, crisis of democracy... It is organized around two research centers: "Arcadie. Anthropocene, History, Utopias""Centre Universitaire Notre-Dame de la Paix",both integrated into the Institut Esphin (Espace philosophique de Namur). Students benefit directly from research activities organized by the department, notably through the "Participation in research activities in philosophy" course, which is to be validated each of the three years of the bachelor's degree. It enables them to attend conferences, actively participate in certain seminars or work in certain courses on the work of the most contemporary great thinkers. PhD The completion of a doctorate in philosophy involves doctoral training, the details of which are set out in UNamur's doctoral regulations.
