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.
