Marc Hennequart, chercheur à l'UNamur, obtient un Grant de la Fondation contre le cancer

Depuis septembre 2023, Marc Hennequart, professeur en biochimie et biologie cellulaire à l’UNamur, mène des recherches novatrices sur le cancer du pancréas. Son équipe, basée à la Faculté de médecine et à l’Institut Narilis, étudie les étapes précoces de l’oncogenèse (processus de transformation d’une cellule normale en une cellule cancéreuse) pour mieux comprendre les changements métaboliques à l’origine de ce cancer particulièrement agressif.

Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector The field of software engineering seeks to devise theories, methods, tools, and techniques that support the development, operation, and evolution of the digital infrastructure modern society relies on. While the software engineering capabilities have advanced substantially over the past decades, it remains challenging to deliver high quality systems in a timely and cost-effective manner. Government system in particular have a weak reputation in this respect.To better understand why, we analyze 125 complex software projects in the public sector in The Netherlands. The projects are described in public reports published by the Advisory Council on IT Assessments (AcICT), which advises the Dutch parliament and cabinet on riks and chances of success in complex Information Technology (IT) projects. The projects span a time period of 10 years, represent a total budget of over 14 billion Euros, and cover such areas as tax collection, social security, pensions, health, traffic control, defense, or water management.We study these reports through the lens of "explainability", focusing on supporting decision making. Furthermore, we reflect on current advances in software engineering, including modern software testing and large language models, in addressing current software engineering challenges. Program INAUGURAL LECTURE: Explainable Software Engineering in the Public Sector - Tuesday 25/03 – 18:00-19:00 – PA02 SESSION 1 : Architectural decision making in software engineering - Monday 24/03 – 10:30-12:30 – I33SESSION 2 : Tests as executable explanations - Tuesday 25/03 – 14:00-16:00 – I33SESSION 3 : Technical debt, test smells, legacy systems - Wednesday 26/03 – 14:00-16:00 – I33SESSION 4 : Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering - Thursday 27/03 – 10:30-12:30 – I33 About the speaker Arie van Deursen is a professor at Delft University of Technology, where he leads the Software Engineering Research Group. His research interests include software testing, language models for code, trustworthy artificial intelligence, and human aspects of software engineering. He presently serves as chair of the Steering Commmittee of the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).He is a member of the Dutch Advisory Council on IT Assessments (AcICT), as well as a member of the Advisory Board of ING Bank The Netherlands.

Des contraceptifs oraux plus sûrs grâce aux œstrogènes naturels

Une avancée majeure pour la santé des femmes sous contraceptif oral a été réalisée par des chercheurs namurois. Chaque année, en Europe, plus de 22 000 cas de thrombose veineuse ou d’embolie sont dénombrés chez les utilisatrices de pilule contraceptive. Une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université de Namur, en collaboration avec QUALIblood (spin-off), a mené une étude importante dont les résultats pourraient transformer les recommandations en matière de prescription.
