Since 2013, the Campus Namur Durable (CaNDLE) calls have been aimed at inviting the University Community to propose actions whose objective is to make the campus and university activity more sustainable in the short, medium and long term.
Since 2013, UNamur has launched 4 CaNDLE calls that have resulted in 20 eco-responsible initiatives contributing to making the campus and university activity more environmentally sustainable. These projects cover a wide range of issues, including biodiversity preservation and the creation of green spaces, waste management, the sustainability of laboratory activities and training in these issues. In 2025-2026, UNamur is launching its 5the CaNDLE appeal, financed with the help of the Christiane Jérôme Fund for Sustainable Development and UNamur donors.
