Open access is a movement aimed at making scientific production accessible. Since 2018, a decree enacted in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation has in fact obliged researchers to deposit a version of their article in their institution's repository. This information is intended for PhD students at the University of Namur.

The two precious reserves of the Moretus Plantin University Library preserve around 100,000 works and remarkable items dating from the late Middle Ages to the present day: manuscripts and autographs, incunabula, printed books, maps and plans, institutional archives, old newspapers, posters and prints, seals, photographic plates, postcards...

The Institutional Repository (IR), implemented on the basis of PURE© software, aims to contain, enhance and preserve all the university's scientific production. An institutional mandate requires researchers to deposit their research results, theses and dissertations. All public elements of this research are accessible to the scientific community as well as to the general public on the Research Portal.

Access to the Library and its resources is subject to the present conditions, with which all users undertake to comply. In its activity report, the BUMP shares its figures, projects and a wealth of useful information.
