Hard times bring out the best in people. Repeatedly, the University community has proven that it faces the challenging Covid-19 pandemic united by showing solidarity, generosity, inspiration and creativity.
Members of the University community have launched incentives or volunteer in campaigns put in place to help neighbours, vulnerable persons, fellow students and institutions. Below, please find a list of exemplary activities, which we hope to expand as the University increasingly joins initiatives to fight the virus.
GoldenMe launches solidarity campaign
Mara Kroth and Johannes Heuschkel, two students from the University of Luxembourg, have launched a campaign to foster solidarity and intergenerational support during the global Covid-19 crisis. The campaign #ZesummenStattAleng / #togetherandnotalone calls for a show of solidarity and support for people who belong to the risk group.
Students assist in securing medical supplies
Five students from the Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, assisted by their professor, have stepped forward to volunteer their time and expertise in helping Robert Schumann hospital secure medical supplies.
Students produce 3D printed masks for medical staff
Students of the University’s Master in Architecture programme have launched an initiative to produce protective masks for medical staff to support the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Respecting the call for social distancing, one designated student uses a 3D printer in the University’s Maison du Savoir to print the masks.
