This is a first in terms of pedagogical approach: to have all the students and teachers of the Faculty of law, all blocks (bachelor in daytime and in staggered timetable) and programmes combined, work for an academic year on the same theme. From courses to practical work, including conferences, cultural and artistic events and civic engagement, all the activities proposed by the Faculty of law focus on the same theme: childhood in a migratory context. The project is called "Fill rouge" (Red thread). After a successful first four months, the momentum is building for the second half of the academic year.

Gnoari Tankoano and Mathieu Traore, PhD students from Bukina Faso, have just spent three months at the Faculty of Law of UNamur. Earlier, Professor René Robaye from Namur went to Ouagadougou, capital of Burkina Faso, for a short academic stay.

A choir of robots sounds like science fiction! Yet it is a reality at the University of Namur.

Every day, at UNamur, researchers from a wide range of fields - geology, chemistry, physics, computer science - are thinking about innovative ways of dealing with this perilous future.

Over-indebtedness, addiction, homelessness, lack of access to rights, begging... Professionals in the health, education and social action sectors are directly confronted with social inequalities and precariousness. Their commitment requires them to work in an interdisciplinary way, to take a reflective look at their practices and to use relevant theoretical models. In response to this need, UNamur, HENALLUX, HEPN and UCLouvain, in collaboration with Formanam and Resinam, are organising a Certificate in Supporting Extreme Precariousness. A discussion with Christine Mahy, General Secretary of the Walloon Anti-Poverty Network (RWLP), was held to open up the debate on some of the key issues that will be addressed during this continuing education course.

Making students active participants in their own success, getting them more involved and developing their soft skills - these are the challenges that assistants working on practical work in the law of obligations have set themselves.

In the course of 2021, 42% of Belgian companies suffered a cyber attack. Those targeting citizens are no less numerous: more than 4.5 million suspicious messages have been sent to Safeonweb, the government body responsible for informing Belgian citizens about computer security. More than ever, at a time when the geopolitical context reinforces the threat of a cyberwar, how can we cope? Jean-Noël Colin, cybersecurity expert, professor at the Faculty of Computer Science of UNamur and member of the NaDI Institute, gives us an explanation.

Carried out in collaboration with the NADI research institute of the University of Namur, the Pôle Académique de Namur, the Université Libre de Bruxelles, and the Royal Association of Engineers of Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech ULg and 200 associations internationally (117 countries), the sixth edition of the Gender Scan survey measures the evolution of feminisation in the technology and digital sector. The survey was conducted for the first time in Belgium among female students (higher education) to measure the level of satisfaction of female students in these fields.
