The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character. The University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University’s faculties and interdisciplinary centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its “international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

The Department of Engineering (DoE) is an interdisciplinary group, active in the classical domains of civil, electrical and mechanical engineering and geophysics. It offers competence in computational science and engineering. The main focus of research is on the development of technological solutions, the sustainable and economical use of all kinds of resources, the offer of competences for the technological requirements of Luxembourg and the Greater Region industrial and public actors.

Beyond the capacities for experimental laboratory investigations, special emphasis is given to numerical simulation to reduce the required experimental effort. Nearly all research projects combine an applied and a fundamental scope and are supported by a network of national and international public and industrial research institutions. Within the University, DoE cooperates across faculties and with the interdisciplinary centres: Security and Trust (SnT), Luxembourg Centre for Systems Medicine (LCSB) and the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2 DH).
