September 1961. A few professors and about fifteen students are entering the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management at UNamur for the very first time. It was 60 years ago, in the house of Marmol, Rampart of the Virgin. Today, the classrooms are no longer the same, the professors have succeeded one another, the course programs have continued to evolve... but it is always with the same passion that the faculty supports its students.

The health crisis has proven to be a tremendous catalyst for the use by the academic world of distance learning devices. A forced march that forced teachers and students to acquire sometimes unmastered techniques. In the Faculty of Economics, Social Sciences and Management, a think tank led by Jean-Yves Gnabo, Director of the Economics and Management department with shift hours, and Denise Van Dam, educational coordinator, investigated the opportunity of open the field of possibilities in technical and educational matters. Objective? Offer learners more flexible Bachelor's or master’s training courses designed specifically for adults returning to study, by providing them with an environment that allows them to live a memorable, impactful experience that serves as a springboard.
