Master in Architecture

The Master in Architecture is a two-year English-taught programme which combines both a traditional curriculum of architectural education and a profiled programme structured around three major themes: architecture, European urbanisation and globalisation.

The Master in Architecture educates future architects with specific additional skills in research and knowledge in the field of urban design particular to European urbanism and globalisation.

Scientists at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) of the University of Luxembourg have developed an important mathematical algorithm called “Equihash”.

Equihash is a core component for the new cryptocurrency Zcash, which offers more privacy and equality than the famous Bitcoin. Zcash came into operation as an experimental technology for a community-driven digital currency in late 2016.

government on its space resources law, a draft of which was presented on 11 November 2016.

The government earlier in 2016 presented plans for an ambitious space mining programme, followed by a 25-million-euro investment in asteroid mining company Planetary Resources. At a press conference on 11 November, it unveiled draft legislation ensuring that private operators working in space can be confident about their rights to the resources they extract in outer space.

The 17-article bill was based on a study carried out by professors from the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance, including SES Chair in Space, SatCom and Media Law Prof. Mahulena Hofmann, Prof. André Prüm and Guest Prof. Jean-Louis Schiltz. They were supported by international experts, such as Prof. Frans von der Dunk, professor in space law at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Prof. Fabio Tronchetti, who specialises in space law at the Harbin Institute of Technology’s School of Law, China.

Gust MEES's insight:

The University of Luxembourg has signed an agreement with four other research institutions in Luxembourg, namely the the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), and the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for International, European and Regulatory Procedural Law (MPI), stipulating that they will cooperate in doctoral education. The signature took place on 26 October 2016 at the Ministry of Higher Education and Research.

More supervisors for PhD projects

Among the Luxembourgish research institutions, only the University has the right to award PhD degrees to students. In the new agreement, the contracting parties determine the way in which research projects for obtaining the doctor's degree are carried out by the non-university institutions together with the university. Still being the sole degree-awarding institution, the University of Luxembourg remains responsible for the verification of academic standards of the doctoral training, but the supervisors for PhD projects within the framework of the cooperation can now also come from one of the other institutes.

Gust MEES's insight:

Bisher wurde angenommen, dass es zwischen Menschen mit und ohne Typ-1-Diabetes Unterschiede in der DNA der Darmbakterien gäbe. Ein luxemburgisches Forscherteam hat nun herausgefunden: Das ist nicht so. Es gibt jedoch Unterschiede, was die Bakterien tun. Dies konnte mit einem neuen Analyseverfahren entdeckt werden.

Der menschliche Darm ist ein komplexes Ökosystem: Zahllose Bakterien besiedeln ihn und helfen dabei, die Nahrung zu verdauen. Eine zentrale Frage, die Forscher beschäftigt, ist ob die Zusammensetzung der Bakterien im Darm – das sogenannte Mikrobiom – bei gesunden oder kranken Menschen unterschiedlich ist. Denn dies könnte helfen, Krankheiten wie z.B. Diabetes früher zu erkennen und auch gezielter zu behandelt, z.B. durch Zugabe von Probiotika.

Ein Wissenschaftlerteam aus Luxemburg stellte jetzt anhand von menschlichen Stuhlproben fest, dass sich sich die bakterielle Artenzusammensetzung zwischen Menschen mit und ohne Typ-1-Diabetes gar nicht so dramatisch unterscheidet, wie bisher angenommen wurde. „Es gibt aber deutliche Unterschiede was die Bakterien tun,“ sagt Anna Heintz-Buschart vom Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) der Uni Luxemburg.

Sie ist Erstautorin der wissenschaftlichen Publikation der Ergebnisse, die heute im renommierten Fachblatt Nature Microbiology erschien.

Université du Luxembourg

Sciences such as biology and biomedicine are generating gigantic amounts of research data from the analysis of genomes and gene products. Often, however, these data are only kept in one place, making comparisons between different studies difficult and the legalities regarding their use unclear. ELIXIR – the “European life-sciences Infrastructure for biological Information” is looking to fix this unfortunate state of affairs.

Now Luxembourg becomes member of this transnational network: ELIXIR Luxembourg. In ELIXIR, 18 European countries are providing the ICT infrastructure for making data from biological and medical studies permanently accessible, to enhance their analysis and to support scientists´ research. With ELIXIR, Luxembourg aims to connect the national digitalisation strategy with the fast growing sector of biomedicine.

Open Repository and Bibliography

This dataset comes from a certified public service
Digital Repository for Open Access to University of Luxembourg publications.

ORBilu was officially launched on the 22nd April 2013. The acronym ORBi stands for "Open Repository and Bibliography". It also expresses the Latin word "orbi" ("for the world") and signals the will of the University to make its academic research available to everyone, without barriers, be they legal, financial or technical. By keeping the ORBi name and adding “lu”, the University of Luxembourg wants to show its appreciation for the work done by the University of Liège but also clearly indicate that this is a version adapted to the UL context.

The API format is described at https://www.openarchives.org/pmh/.

Laura DIDIER's curator insight, November 15, 2022 5:31 AM

Scientists from Strasbourg have identified a gene: USP9 which would significantly reduce the activity of the Tau protein, responsible for Alzheimer's disease.

Although there is still a lot of work to do, this could be a start for a treatment

PANTENIER Léa's comment, December 16, 2022 10:46 AM

Les chercheurs du Luxembourg ont découvert un gène, USP9 après étude de séries de données sur des échantillons de cerveau de patients décédés.
Le gène USP9 influence l’activité de MAPT, gène impliqué dans la maladie d’Alzheimer. Son inactivation réduit l’activité de la protéine Tau et ainsi la formation des plaques séniles.
Même si des efforts restent à fournir, l’utilisation de USP9 en tant que cible pharmacologique de la maladie d’Alzheimer semble possible.

This summer, Luxembourg became the first country in the world to invest in asteroid mining, with a pledge of €200m ($223m) in funding for the space-mining industry.

Yet the country thinks it has more to offer the sector than just money: it also hopes to inject its intellectual capital into the mix.

Luxembourg is mobilizing homegrown talent at the University of Luxembourg to help private asteroid-mining company Deep Space Industries develop robotic technology for its prototype exploration spacecraft.

The University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability, and Trust (SnT) will develop an optical vision system for the company's experimental Prospector-X spacecraft.

The research group at the University of Luxembourg's Automation and Robotics Research Group, which is part of the university's SnT Centre, has built up expertise in robotic automation and unmanned aerial vehicle vision systems.
