The University of Luxembourg takes the « Guild of European Research-Inensive Universities »: A step to excellence
The University of Luxembourg is now part of the « Guild of European Research-Inensive Universities », a network that combines 23 leading research universities from 17 European countries-including academic heavyweights such as the King’s College London, the University of Vienna or Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL).
By joining the university, the university underlines its self -image as a research -strong internationally networked institution, according to the press release. In her research, she combines basic research and applied sciences, with special attention to interdisciplinarity: Social and humanities (SSH) meet here on natural sciences, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (stem).
The University of Luxembourg is also the only public university in the Grand Duchy as a talent factory in the country. International mobility, personal support and lived multilingualism shape the courses – over 60 percent of students come from abroad.
« Sign for excellence »
University Rector Jens Kreisel sees a strategic step in the accession: « I see The Guild as the heart of our international strategy. The association opens up new opportunities for cooperations and innovation in research with the smartest minds in Europe. It also harbors great potential for strengthening our advocacy at the European level and winning from insights into other institutions. »
Especially at a time when academic freedom and scientific independence are threatened in many parts of the world, one has to step in together and with a clear voice for science -based education and politics as well as for courageous and innovative research, Kreisel continues.
« Luxembourg must use the potential of artificial intelligence »
The newcomer is also enthusiastic about the Guild. General Secretary Jan Palmowski emphasizes: « We are very pleased that such a strong university comes across us, with colleagues who share our values who are just as broken for first -class research and teaching and are fully committed to international cooperation. » With the new network in the back, the University of Luxembourg set a clear sign of excellence in research and for Europe.
