A flurry of awards for the NaDI-CeRCLe research center in recent weeks. The service management research of three young doctoral students from the EMCP Faculty has been recognized by their peers at leading international scientific events: Floriane Goosse, Victor Sluÿters and Florence Nizette. This summer, we invite you to discover their careers and their work.

New from 2025-2026 The MAGIS program is a unique and exclusive exchange program that will transform you into a global citizen, a global agent of change.

Global environmental citizenship Course The Global environmental citizenship course is an international course on global citizenship, focusing on environmental justice. It is taught online and coordinated by a professor from Loyola University Chicago. The course objectives are: Understand the local and global impacts of biodiversity loss, water scarcity and climate changeEvaluate these impacts from a moral and spiritual perspectiveAct as responsible citizens, locally and globally, in the face of these challengesStudents selected for the MAGIS program will take the first part of the course during the 2nd quadrennium of Block 2 and the second part during the first quadrennium of Block 3. Discover the projects created by our students Course" exchange stay The "course" exchange stay enables students selected for the MAGIS program to take courses (for +/- 30 ECTS credits) during one term (the 1st term of Boc 3) at one of the participating Jesuit universities in or outside Europe.The stay is supported by a "course" mobility grant for partner universities where a bilateral agreement has been concluded with UNamur. This information can be found in the list of MAGIS program partners on Webcampus. Scholarship information Service Learning During the exchange stay, the students selected for the MAGIS program will carry out a service learning mission (internship, volunteering, etc), organized and supervised by the host University. This will enable students to:Understand the local environmentGet involved in community supportLearn and take on responsibilities Organization of these 3 components These three components are organized as follows:

Semantic change, i.e. the evolution of word meanings over time, offers crucial information about historical, cultural and linguistic processes. Language acts as a mirror of societal change, reflecting evolving values, norms and technological advances. Understanding how the meaning of words evolves enables us to trace these transformations and gain a deeper understanding of our distant and recent past.This seminar explores how computational methods are revolutionizing our ability to analyze semantic change in historical texts, addressing a major challenge in the field of digital humanities. While advanced computational methods enable us to analyze vast datasets and uncover previously inaccessible patterns, few natural language processing algorithms fully take into account the dynamic nature of language, particularly semantics, which is essential for research in the humanities. As AI systems develop to better understand the historical context and dynamics of language, human annotation and interpretation remain essential to capture the nuances of language and its cultural context.In this presentation, I will show how computational and human-centered approaches can be effectively combined to examine semantic change and its links to cultural and technological developments. I will present examples illustrating how semantic change can be analyzed across temporal, cultural and textual dimensions."Methods "seminarsThe Methods Seminar is a series of seminars organized at the University of Namur with the aim of fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange.

For the past fifteen years or so, participatory and deliberative democracy mechanisms have been multiplying: participatory budgets, popular consultations, citizens' panels, and so on. Vincent Jacquet, a political scientist and coordinator of the European research project Citizen Impact (ERC project, European Research Council), studies the impact of these devices from the point of view of governors and citizens.
