The UCO's research focuses on the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. A first axis focuses on organic synthesis, applied to natural and non-natural molecules with biological and pharmacological activity and to the development of new reactions. The second focuses on bio-organic chemistry and the mechanistic study of enzymes. A third focuses on the study of the chemical reactivity of new acidic and basic species and their use in catalysis.

UCESA's research focuses explore corrosion and medical materials. Research is mainly focused on the chemistry and electrochemistry of surface materials and structured interfaces. Research focuses on the functionalization of surfaces, the electrochemical elaboration of biomaterials and anti-corrosion coatings, and the development and application of local electrochemical analyses.

Research in chemistry didactics is a relatively recent field of study at the University of Namur. Attached to the IRDENa research institute, the URDC aims to understand the didactic processes at play during teaching-learning situations involving content to be taught in chemistry. This research thus contributes both to the construction of cutting-edge knowledge in the field and to the development of new training devices and innovative pedagogies.

As a member of the NAMEDIC research center associated with the NARILIS Institute, the CBS is actively developing research projects in medicinal chemistry. The laboratory's activities are based on close collaboration with other (inter)national groups. The efforts of CBS members can be grouped into 3 main lines of research: structural study of host-guest systems and (pharmaceutical)cocrystalsprotein crystallography and structure-based drug design.

The Microorganism Biology Research Unit (URBM) studies microorganisms (mainly bacteria) at all levels of integration (from cellular to molecular) and their relationship with eukaryotic hosts.

"At the heart of cellular response and regulation mechanisms"The Cell Biology Research Unit (URBC) comprises 40 researchers and technicians studying in 5 different fields. Research is devoted to understanding cellular response mechanisms in normal and pathological situations. It is also developing more applied research associated with the development of proteomics and nanotechnologies.

An Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen project on indoor air quality (IAQ).

Depuis son inauguration en 2019, l’observatoire astronomique de l’UNamur a déployé un programme pédagogique et de médiation scientifique ouvert à toutes et à tous, avec l’ambition de faire découvrir les sciences par le prisme de l’observation des merveilles du ciel. 5 ans plus tard, le pari est réussi ! La petite équipe qui anime les lieux multiplie les collaborations et les activités proposées aux étudiantes et aux étudiants, aux écoles et au grand public. Cet automne, l’Observatoire astronomique célébrera l’empreinte durable qu’il a construite dans les yeux et les cœurs de son public en fêtant son 5e anniversaire. Une occasion de rassembler la communauté qui s’est développée autour de ses projets passés, présents et futurs !

At the University of Namur, the MyCoach scheme offers invaluable help to support students in their academic career in the sciences. Spearheaded by the Faculty through Aurélie Tacheny, this project, initiated a year ago, aims to boost student success and perseverance by integrating a personalized support approach. The scheme, which is now being assessed, is based on regular meetings and individual follow-up (four key meetings with students, at strategic moments in the academic year).

In a new publication, the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) announces the success of its pilot project. This pioneering initiative has brought together a vast collaborative network of researchers and institutions in 33 countries to produce high-quality reference genomes of 98 European species. This continental effort paves the way for a new, inclusive and equitable model of biodiversity genomics.
