Research is led by 15 academics, who pool their skills and enthusiasm around a multitude of projects. They are surrounded by large teams of international researchers, logisticians, engineers and technicians. In all, there are no fewer than 100 people working together to ensure the success and renown of the Physics Department's research, which has been internationally recognized for over 50 years.

Beyond the classic academic spin-offs, it's worth noting that research in the department has led to the emergence of a spin-off dedicated to surface treatment and the development of high-performance coatings (ICS - Innovative Coatings Solutions).

Researchers in the department are active in the following research institutes:

• Institute of Life, Earth and Environment (ILEE)
• Namur Research Institute for Life Sciences (NARILIS)
• Namur Institute for Complex Systems (NAXYS)
• Namur Institute of Structured Matter (naXys)
