A program for every discipline During late August and early September, UNamur offers rheto students preparatory courses tailored to their future training.These revision sessions are specially designed to support students in their transition to university. By reinforcing their foundations in the key subjects of their future discipline, they enable them to approach their first year with confidence. These preparatory courses are also an excellent opportunity to discover the campus, meet future classmates and familiarize themselves with the learning methods specific to higher education. Discover the preparatory courses Preparation for the medical entrance exam For students wishing to begin studying medicine, two sessions are also organized according to a specific timetable to prepare for the entrance exam.

The Laboratory of Evolutionary and Adaptive Physiology (LEAP) is directed by Professor Frédéric Silvestre. It is one of 4 laboratories belonging to the Environmental and Evolutionary Biology Research Unit (URBE) within the Biology Department. LEAP is also a member of the Institute of Life, Earth and Environment (ILEE).Research is in the field of integrative, comparative and evolutionary physiology. We aim to study the impacts of environmental changes (pollution, temperature, salinity, etc.) on aquatic organisms at different levels: molecular, physiological, phenotypic.

Space has become a major economic and strategic issue. As a member of the European UNIVERSEH Alliance, UNamur explores this space theme in its various departments, from physics to geology, via mathematics, computer science or philosophy. Without forgetting to address the general public, who still dream of the stars...

The IPCC warns of the growing impact of global warming on water, with more frequent droughts and floods threatening global supplies. By 2050, 42% of river basins will be severely affected, and flood damage could quadruple in the event of 4°C warming. Although they bear little responsibility, the most vulnerable populations suffer the worst consequences. In Wallonia, recent climatic disasters and water pollution illustrate the stakes. To raise public awareness, an event is being organized in Charleroi with debates and screenings.Program17:00 | Introductory session Head of UNESCO Belgium Mr Aurélien Dumont, Secretariat of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Hydrological Programme, World Water Situation17:40 | Screening of the film "H2O, water, life and us: the Emergency"18:30 | Break18:45 | Lectures and debate Prof. Dr. Marnik Vanclooster (U.K.).

Le Printemps des Sciences is the must-attend science and technology event in Wallonia and Brussels. It takes place every year in early spring and offers free activities accessible to all.

Professor Timoteo Carletti of the University of Namur has just published in the prestigious journal Nature Physics in collaboration with Professor Ginestra Bianconi of Queen Mary University of London and eight other international researchers. This groundbreaking study could lead to the development of new AI algorithms, new ways of studying brain function, or breakthroughs in disciplines such as physics, climate science, finance and many others.

The Covid-19 pandemic is a human tragedy that has caused millions of deaths worldwide and put our entire society under great strain. But it has also been a tremendous collective moment for many UNamur scientists, whose research continues in an attempt to better understand this disease and its consequences.
