Gilles Perrouin has just received the award for the most influential paper at the SPLC2024 conference. This award highlights a successful line of research on software product line testing, already awarded in February 2024.

Stanford University has published a prestigious ranking that highlights the most influential researchers in a wide range of scientific fields. The list, based on bibliographic criteria, aims to provide a standardized means of identifying the world's scientific leaders. It is one criterion among others for assessing the quality of scientific research. Twelve researchers from the University of Namur are among them!

How to cope with the Y2K bug? How to ensure the transition to a single currency in Europe, the euro? It's the late 1990s, and the need for IT manpower is greater than ever to meet the growing needs of the IT industry. It was against this backdrop that UNamur and its Faculty of Computer Science boldly and proactively developed a new course of study: a staggered timetable leading to a Master's degree in Computer Science. Twenty-five years later, interest in this training and its societal necessity are more relevant than ever.

How can teleworking and face-to-face work be reconciled? How can these professional practices be framed to reinforce the innovative and sustainable dimensions of hybrid work? These are the questions that Michel Ajzen, a specialist in organizational management, is tackling as part of his teaching assignments in the Department of Management Sciences at UNamur. His research focuses on hybrid work and organizational innovation, with a transdisciplinary approach aimed at reinventing managerial practices to meet contemporary challenges.

After more than 60 years in existence, the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management (FSESG) at the University of Namur unveils its new name for the start of the academic year. It has become the EMCP Faculty, or Faculté Économie Management Communication sciencesPo. Every year, many students are trained here to become future experts and decision-makers in economics, management, communications and political science. How do you reconcile teaching methods and research with the challenges of a society in transition? This is the challenge taken up by the EMCP vision, a reflection of reflection and experience, carried forward by students and staff alike.

Two new Master's degree specializations are on offer from the start of the new academic year. One will provide training in general medicine, the other in the management and economics of sustainable development. Other pedagogical innovations in existing course programs are also proposed, including a course designed to train block students in the challenges of Artificial Intelligence and develop their critical thinking skills to use AI in a relevant way. Through these innovations and new features, UNamur is demonstrating its ability to constantly adapt its educational offering in response to changes in society.

The Moretus Plantin University Library (BUMP) at UNamur preserves a collection of several thousand postcards within its precious reserve. This remarkable collection offers an original insight into the daily life of the people of Namur in the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of these cards show the Faculties as they looked almost a century ago, and illustrate the teaching and research activities that were carried out there at the time.
