The Department of Physics is structured into entities in charge of its organization, teaching and research.

The research of the Department of Science, Philosophy and Society is carried out in several Institutes and is structured around four axes.

The members of the Department of Sciences, Philosophies and Societies are highly committed to their social usefulness. In addition to classic scientific activities (symposia, seminars, working groups, etc.), they regularly take part in meetings for the general public to share their experiences and ideas, and thus render services to society.

When a tumour develops in an organism, it is very common for the cancer cells to leave the tumour and move to another organ where they proliferate, creating what are known as metastases. This process is an important factor in mortality, as it means that the disease worsens. Hence the interest in better understanding what happens during this phenomenon. This is what the multidisciplinary team of Carine Michiels, researcher at the NARILIS Institute of UNamur, and Davide Bonifazi, researcher at the University of Vienna, did in the framework of the PACMAN research project financed by the FNRS. The results of this study are published in the journal Neoplasia.

The University of Namur is one of the European partner universities in the organisation of the European Master of Science in Skin Health and Care (EMOTION).

Students enrolled in the Faculty of Science have the opportunity to go abroad during their studies, either as part of their course or as part of an internship!Each year, we also welcome several foreign students who enroll in a course at the University of Namur, or who join us for a semester or a year of study.

The staff of the Faculty of Science includes a quarter of researchers, assistants, post-docs and international professors. Through their experience and culture, they enrich teaching, research and the life of the faculty and the institution.

The Chemistry Department is made up of more than 14 academics, 2 research logisticians, 6 technicians and over a hundred scientists. They are part of the 11 laboratories that make up the 5 research units.

Collaborations can range from one-off projects to long-term research programs. With industryThe fields covered range from the agri-food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, to the chemical industry, the oil industry, metallurgy, etc. For education In the field of education, the Department organizes several pedagogical days each year for secondary school teachers.It also makes its didactic laboratories available to all teachers in colleges and athénées. ExpertiseRegularly, members of the Department take part as experts in various national or European commissions. Research conducted within the Department has tangible repercussions on society: It contributes to innovation in healthcare and energy. They offer solutions for pollution control, energy storage and healthcare. They train researchers for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. They provide solutions for corrosion and medical materials. They improve teaching practices in chemistry, training tomorrow's scientists. Basic chemistry: exploitation and/or production of raw materials; Parachemistry: consumer products, e.g. cosmetics, household products; Pharmaceutical industry: medicines for human and animal use; Process chemistry: rubber, plastics. Some work abroad.
