How does a river work? How do river overflows occur? What can be done to protect our territories from these risks? At UNamur, geography students followed an innovative teaching activity, using a 3D augmented reality sandbox, to learn about this issue. What are the aims of this tool? Simulate and analyze natural phenomena. A unique and immersive experience to better understand environmental dynamics and climate risks, carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organization Contrat de Rivière Ourthe.

Research focuses on healthcare and energy by characterizing the structural and electronic properties of (macro)molecules. Researchers apply and develop a wide range of theoretical methods: quantum mechanics, molecular mechanics, hybrid QM/MM methods, and statistical mechanics. Complementarily, UCPTS is developing expertise in structure determination and characterization of (macro)molecules using experimental physico-chemical methods (crystallography, calorimetric analyses, bio-spectroscopies). 

Research at UCNANO focuses on energy storage, pollution control and health, developing sustainable and innovative solutions to society's current challenges. Research focuses on energy, the environment, the conversion of waste into high value-added products, green chemistry and health. UCNANO develops high-performance materials with low environmental impact that promote the circular economy and biomedical applications, in heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, nano- and bio-technologies, energy storage and conversion and cell therapy.

The UCO's research focuses on the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. A first axis focuses on organic synthesis, applied to natural and non-natural molecules with biological and pharmacological activity and to the development of new reactions. The second focuses on bio-organic chemistry and the mechanistic study of enzymes. A third focuses on the study of the chemical reactivity of new acidic and basic species and their use in catalysis.

UCESA's research focuses explore corrosion and medical materials. Research is mainly focused on the chemistry and electrochemistry of surface materials and structured interfaces. Research focuses on the functionalization of surfaces, the electrochemical elaboration of biomaterials and anti-corrosion coatings, and the development and application of local electrochemical analyses.

Research in chemistry didactics is a relatively recent field of study at the University of Namur. Attached to the IRDENa research institute, the URDC aims to understand the didactic processes at play during teaching-learning situations involving content to be taught in chemistry. This research thus contributes both to the construction of cutting-edge knowledge in the field and to the development of new training devices and innovative pedagogies.

As a member of the NAMEDIC research center associated with the NARILIS Institute, the CBS is actively developing research projects in medicinal chemistry. The laboratory's activities are based on close collaboration with other (inter)national groups. The efforts of CBS members can be grouped into 3 main lines of research: structural study of host-guest systems and (pharmaceutical)cocrystalsprotein crystallography and structure-based drug design.

The Microorganism Biology Research Unit (URBM) studies microorganisms (mainly bacteria) at all levels of integration (from cellular to molecular) and their relationship with eukaryotic hosts.

As it does every year, the Faculty of Computer Science is organizing a job fair dedicated to digital professions. It's the UNamur IT Jobs Fair 2024, on Tuesday 12/11 at the Arsenal.

"At the heart of cellular response and regulation mechanisms"The Cell Biology Research Unit (URBC) comprises 40 researchers and technicians studying in 5 different fields. Research is devoted to understanding cellular response mechanisms in normal and pathological situations. It is also developing more applied research associated with the development of proteomics and nanotechnologies.
