An international team of researchers, including Professor Benoît Champagne from UNamur, has just published a paper in the prestigious journal "Accounts of Chemical Research" (ACS). They have demonstrated the role of dynamic fluctuations in the structure of molecules on their optical properties. This aspect of dynamics is innovative because previous studies were limited to rigid structures.

The four UNamur continuing education centers specializing in the education sector have come together within "La Salle des Pros" to strengthen their collaborations, their cross-functional approach and their visibility. However, each center retains its autonomy and its faculty roots in order to preserve its specificities and maintain a close link with research and the initial training of teachers.

After the January exams, some students have doubts about their choice of study. Some are demotivated and sometimes "drop out" of the course or the exam session.

Writer, scriptwriter, and teacher at La Cambre and the Saint-Luc School of Arts, Thomas Gunzig never ceases to communicate his passion for the power of the imagination, his faith in fiction as a place of freedom. In his radio columns on La Première as well as in his novels (from “Mort d'un parfait bilingue”, Prix Rossel 2001, to “Sang des bêtes”, 2022), he infuses his pen with a dark, often cynical humour, but never completely devoid of playfulness. We met him on the occasion of his appearance at the Grandes Conférences Namuroises, on 21 February 2023 at the UNamur.

From 17 to 19 February 2023, the CSLabs, a student association based at the Faculty of Computer Science at UNamur, organised its annual hackathon. What was on the agenda?
