On Monday, January 9, 2023, the faculty welcomed FORMaNAM and Interface3.Namur for the official launch of the project Gender Equals Future: 011 for IT, which is part of the Woman In Digital plan of the SPF Economie. Dr. Julie Henry, STEAM project leader at the University of Namur, is the coordinator of the project. The objective is to formulate suggestions and recommendations for educational institutions in order to encourage the retention of women in digital training. Also involved are doctors Fanny Boraita and Catherine Bernard and professors Benoît Vanderose and Xavier Devroey of the SNAIL team.
A bitter cold, but a good atmosphere for an intense week! The presentations of the CyberWal in Galaxia Winterschool continued all week from December 13 to 16, 2022 at the Eurospace center in Redu. The CyberWal consortium brings together researchers working on cybersecurity within the universities of the Walloon-Brussels Federation and accredited research centers.
Last week was the first edition of the Greater Region Software Engineering Research Days (SOFTER), organised in Namur. It was the occasion for researchers from the Serval team of the SnT, University of Luxembourg ,and researchers from the VERTIGO and SNAIL teams of the Namur Digital Institute (NaDI), University of Namur, to meet and discuss during two days around testing and verification, machine learning robustness, architecture quality assurance, code analysis, and machine learning for industry 4.0. The seminar finished with a presentation of recent and new research directions in machine learning for financial technology. The seminar featured a brainstorming session, and researchers involved in a session collectively prepared a joint presentation to introduce the topic to other attendees and show how their research contribute to advance the area, contributing to a successful and highly interactive first edition of SOFTER!
