Shaping a digital, healthy and sustainable future
The University of Luxembourg strives for excellence in both fundamental and applied research, fostering innovation and societal progress. Our research combines detailed disciplinary knowledge with interdisciplinary approaches and also feeds directly into our teaching. Key areas include digital transformation, medicine and health, and sustainable and societal development.
Focus on interdisciplinarity
Addressing the greatest challenges of our times requires interdisciplinary research. Rooted in strong disciplinary expertise, the University’s strategy relies on interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration. By integrating diverse disciplines and encouraging collaboration through partnerships, we are building a vibrant research environment to spark novel ideas and groundbreaking innovations in our unique laboratories, interdisciplinary centres and Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS).
Our state-of-the-art academic research and cross-disciplinary approach fuels our drive to make a lasting impact on society. In the two decades after it was founded, the University of Luxembourg was awarded 15 ERC grants. In the Leiden Ranking 2022, the University was ranked 54th in the world among universities with the 1 per cent most cited publications in their field, in proportion to the number of articles published.
