The University of Luxembourg has signed an agreement with the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), often considered to be the best public university in the world.

On collaboration and exchange

This agreement on research collaboration and the exchange of scientists was signed recently by the President of the University of Luxembourg, Professor Rainer Klump, and Chancellor Nicholas B. Dirks of UC Berkeley. Professor Jeroen Dewulf, Director of the Institute of European Studies at UC Berkeley, was also present.

UC Berkeley and the University of Luxembourg already collaborate in research areas such as biology, computer science, history and law. Both sides wish to widen the scope of this research collaboration to areas such as information and communication technology (ICT), finance, social inequality and European studies.

Moreover, the pair have both recently opened a new campus on a brownfield site and are therefore keen to exchange experience.
