You can include UNamur in your will to support a project that resembles you and respects your choices, while optimizing your estate for tax purposes.

As an institution approved by the SPF Finances, the University of Namur offers tax reductions and attractive conditions for donations and bequests made to it. We can also inform you about the follow-up of your donation. Discover your various advantages.

The Department of Physics is structured into entities in charge of its organization, teaching and research.

The research of the Department of Science, Philosophy and Society is carried out in several Institutes and is structured around four axes.

The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) or hybrid intensive program is an educational innovation within the Erasmus+ program. It is a short, hybrid mobility defined as "a short physical presence abroad of between 5 days min and 30 days max, supplemented by some volume of virtual learning before or after the physical mobility".

The members of the Department of Sciences, Philosophies and Societies are highly committed to their social usefulness. In addition to classic scientific activities (symposia, seminars, working groups, etc.), they regularly take part in meetings for the general public to share their experiences and ideas, and thus render services to society.

Donors are regularly informed of the projects they have supported by post, e-mail or through the Fonds Namur Université Newsletter.You can download our brochures or receive them free of charge by post. To do so, simply send us an e-mail request to fundraising@unamur.be .

Since the 2023-2024 academic year, the Faculty Economics Management Communication Politics (EMCP) has been offering an innovative mobility program within the Bachelor of Economic and Management Sciences: a 3-year double degree (DD) with Ghent University.

By combining the expertise of the Laboratoire de langues des signes de Belgique francophone (LSFB-Lab) and the skills of UNamur's Faculty of Computer Science, a pioneering and inclusive tool has been created for the deaf and signing community: the first bilingual French-sign language contextual dictionary.

During the global pandemic, UNamur demonstrated its capacity for innovation and its role as a driving force, alongside other players in the field, to find effective and resilient solutions to healthcare challenges.

UNamur's projects think about the issue of aging well in a plural and interdisciplinary way, which considers the different ages of seniors' lives and also takes into account the entourage having to cope with accompanying a parent or spouse who has become less autonomous.

These two subjects also provide an opportunity to review a few essential mathematical tools for tackling a physics course: trigonometry and the derivative.
