Delamination of sheepskin parchment: an interdisciplinary discovery published in Heritage Science
At UNamur, parchments are much more than objects of curiosity: they are at the heart of an interdisciplinary scientific adventure. Starting with historical sciences and conservation, the research has gradually incorporated the disciplines of physics, biology, chemistry, and archaeology. This convergence has given rise to research in heritage sciences, driving innovative projects such as Marine Appart's doctoral work, supervised by Professor Olivier Deparis. This research has now been recognized with a publication in the prestigious journal Heritage Science (Nature Publishing Group).

Preparatory courses
From the beginning of November, the University of Namur is offering preparatory courses for the medical entrance exam.These courses are devoted to the revision of the four scientific subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology), and a preparation for the "Communication and critical analysis of information" section. These courses are also designed to teach you to master the specific techniques of this type of MCQ (multiple-choice questionnaire)-based test. Practically, in each discipline, the program offers many opportunities to practice this type of question, and a module is devoted to how to prepare for and answer MCQs. This is a non-obligatory aid that also requires a personal investment to prepare you for the competition. Two sessions are offered throughout the year.
