Raising developers' awareness of source code energy consumption
In recent years, sustainability concerns have emerged in the software engineering community. However, little research focuses on the link between the evolution of a source code and energy consumption. Consequently, most developers don’t know the energy consumption of their software during its development.

CyberExcellence
The CyberExcellence project started in January 2022 under the umbrella of the CyberWal initiative and is funded by the Walloon region. It aims to position Wallonia as a major player in cybersecurity on the national and international map by developing a core framework allowing the implementation of solutions based on practical and thoughtful cybersecurity with a competitive advantage.

Cognitive biases, minorities, and influence on sotware development methods
The project’s general purpose is to be able to highlight certain cognitive biases in our self-perception, our performance and our decision-making. The project initially aims to identify the different cognitive biases that may exist in different contexts, depending on group membership, etc. These cognitive biases identified, an attempt to measure them will be carried out to then highlight them in the eyes of those who experience them. Finally, the creation of tools and techniques to limit the impact of cognitive biases could be evaluated.
