The University of Namur (formerly FUNDP) was founded by the Jesuits in 1831. It is renowned for its values, educational excellence and pioneering research. The close proximity of Namur's faculties has always encouraged the development of original projects carried out within interdisciplinary research centers and institutes, providing answers to societal challenges. Our scientists are active in fields such as health (cancer research, neurodegenerative diseases), animal welfare, sustainable development, new technologies, as well as heritage, art and history, ethics and law. 

Caring for others is part of our university's DNA. It can be seen in the attention we pay to students, in the attention we pay to most vulnerable groups in teaching (inclusion policies) and research (ageing, disability...) and by a close connection with the world around us. 

Supporting UNamur means giving more resources to an institution with a heart and enabling us to fulfill our mission of societal innovation.
