The Summer School in Molecular Bacteriology: an innovative international experience to open up to research thanks to BIP
The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is an innovative course format promoted and financed by Erasmus+ funds to promote international mobility and pedagogical innovation. This type of program, combining a virtual component with short-term physical mobility (minimum 5 days), enables teachers and students to explore new teaching and learning methods while gaining international experience. At the University of Namur, the Summer School in Molecular Microbiology, organized from July 1 to 5, 2024, in the form of a BIP, is a successful example.

Understanding cell migration to fight cancer
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.

Mathematics Department
Mathematics is an indispensable tool for understanding and solving many of the problems of everyday life, it forms the formal language for many disciplines and defines a science, with its methods and laws, to which genuine research is associated. The Mathematics Department has sought to reconcile these aspects by specializing in applied mathematics since its inception, in both teaching and research.
