Today, over 18% of Belgians are at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Faced with this reality, indifference or paternalism are still too often the only responses. That's why research, from philosophy to law to economics, today intends to better understand the different faces of vulnerability.

On June 9, 2024, Belgians will go to the polls to elect their European, federal and regional representatives. This triple ballot will also mark a major first in Belgium: the participation of 16-18 year-olds in European elections. With its Political Science department, and the research carried out within the Transitions Institute, UNamur is sharing its expertise to inform and raise awareness among students, the general public and professionals in the political and legal sectors, about the major issues at stake in this election! Until June 9, 2024, ten key themes will be covered on the UNamur Newsroom. Today: voter turnout in Belgium. Jérémy Dodeigne, Professor of Political Science, explains.

Fallen into economics by chance, Marianne Collin has been passionate about economic policy since her first application to UNamur. Her meeting with Luc Coene, former Governor of the National Bank, marked the start of her career: she remained with this institution for 13 years before joining Belfius at the request of Marc Raisière, Chairman of the Management Committee. In 2019, at the age of 37, she will become the first woman to join the Management Committee as Chief Risk Officer. She has fond memories of UNamur and, above all, a band of loyal friends.
