The Luxembourg University Foundation

September 2013 saw the launch of the Luxembourg University Foundation. The Foundation’s objectives are to support the academic and scientific activities, as well as initiatives of general interest of the University.

The Luxembourg University Foundation has been granted an initial capital of one million euros and has been placed in the professional care of the Fondation de Luxembourg, which will provide financial and operational management, as well as supervision.

The creation of the Foundation will allow the University to make significant advances in its activities thanks to increased external funding. These external funds can be put to good use in many ways:

• the funding of scholarships for deserving or needy students;
• the financial support of scientific conferences or research projects;
• the funding of a research chair.

It is also hoped that the Foundation will assist the University in attracting additional international funding.

The Luxembourg University Foundation’s Management Committee is made up of five individuals including Alain Georges, Former Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Banque Générale de Luxembourg. The Management Committee will evaluate the various projects and allocate the financial resources.
