For many years, the university community, its alumni and partners have been mobilizing to benefit cancer research through Operation Télévie. All donations collected are donated to the FNRS.
The project
Every year in Belgium, 75,000 people are diagnosed with cancer and 30,000 die from it. To give hope to all patients, cancer research remains a major challenge. In just a few decades, research has significantly increased the chances of surviving certain cancers. Other tumors, however, are resistant to treatment or highly recurrent. Scientists therefore continue to work on a daily basis to understand the disease and develop new therapies. UNamur has several laboratories active in the fight against cancer, within the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Science and the NARILIS research institute.
Your donations in action: together, we make life worth living
Thanks to your support, UNamur organizes various actions and gives more means to Télévie scientists who work every day to propose new treatments that are more effective against tumors and less damaging to healthy cells. In 2024, you sponsored 19 cuistax in the colors of the student collectives who completed 1987 laps of the campus, totalling over 900 km during the 4H Cuistax of the Fête de l'Université.
Our partner CBC Banque
For the past three years, UNamur and AGE have been able to count on the support of CBC Banque, which stands by their side in this operation. CBC is the French-speaking branch of the Belgian KBC Group. It invests in Wallonia to actively participate in the development of its region. CBC Banque's administrative headquarters are located in the heart of Namur, the Walloon capital, a stone's throw from the university.
