LIST OF FLAGSHIP FACULTY PROJECTS In 2024-25, the faculties of ULiège carried out a variety of research projects in support of ecological, social and health transitions. These initiatives cover topics ranging from antibiotic resistance to media literacy, fair transition, healthy ageing and sustainable management of forests and wetlands. Driven by interdisciplinary and participatory approaches, this work contributes to a better understanding of contemporary issues and the development of concrete, locally-based solutions. FACULTY OF PHILOSOPHY AND LETTERS RETHINKING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES Educational resources are often seen as mere tools to help students learn. The RESUME (Resources and Support for Media Education) project (FWB) proposes looking at them differently: as documents that reflect social relationships, influence teachers' practices, and convey ideas or points of view on social issues, such as fake news or the ecological impact of digital technology. With this in mind, analytical tools are used to better understand how education can play a key role in societal change.

One of its objectives is to develop an interactive atlas of 'healthy ageing' to identify regional priorities and serve as a decision-making tool for senior citizens and local authorities. Participatory workshops are being organised in Wallonia with older people and their carers in order to further develop an initial healthy ageing index. Two observatories on healthy ageing will then be set up, using participatory methods and tools specially designed to harness the territorial intelligence of older people. STAGE aims to promote inclusive, equitable ageing that contributes to the resilience of territories in the face of demographic and social challenges.

It takes an original approach by studying this phenomenon not only in medical and agricultural settings, but also in natural ecosystems (water, soil, wildlife), where the effects of antibiotics are still poorly understood. Conducted at three sites in France (the Atlantic coast, the Vienne basin and the Rhône delta), the research aims to detect resistance and analyse how scientific knowledge is built up in these sensitive areas. By drawing on the sociology of science and an interdisciplinary "One Health" approach, ABIME promotes dialogue between researchers, health professionals, managers and residents. The aim is to better understand the interactions between human, animal and environmental health in order to propose public health policies which are fairer, more effective and better adapted to local ecological realities.
