This can be explained by its sector-based structure, in which activities and services related to the financial centre, together with information and communication technologies, transport and non-market services, play a key role; by the existence of a highly qualified, multilingual, mobile (cross-border) workforce; and also by the proactive economic policy pursued by the country\u2019s authorities throughout its history. Looking back, we can see\u00a0that Luxembourg has gone through several transitions and dealt with a number of serious crises. Following on from the predominantly rural economy of the 19th century, the first half of the 20th century was characterised by an industrial economy based on the iron and steel industry and the latter part of the century by a service-based economy centred around the financial centre, ultimately leading to the emergence of an information and knowledge economy which is gradually taking shape in the 21st century.<\/p><p>To reflect on the history of the Luxembourg economy and sketch out future scenarios,\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>Europe Direct Information Centre (EDIC)<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>at the University of Luxembourg<\/strong>\u00a0and its partners,\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic\u00a0Research (LISER)<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0<strong>Luxembourg national\u00a0innovation agency Luxinnovation<\/strong>,\u00a0are pleased to invite you to the webinar\u00a0<strong>\u201cLuxembourg: from steel to the knowledge economy and beyond\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on Tuesday 22 June 2021 from 14:00 to 15:30 via Webex<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"programme\"\n    >\nProgramme<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"ulux-list\"><li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>14:00 \u2013 Introductory remarks \u2013 Dr Elena Danescu<\/strong>, Coordinator of EDIC University of Luxembourg<\/li><li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>14:10 \u2013 \u201cLuxembourg: The path from the steel economy to the knowledge economy\u201d &#8211; Dr Franz Cl\u00e9ment<\/strong>, Researcher at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER)<\/li><li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>14:55 \u2013 \u201cLooking always to the future\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>Luxinnovation<\/strong>\u00a0role in building an innovation-based economy in Luxembourg) \u2013 Audio-visual documentary<\/li><li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>15:10 \u2013 Debate with the audience \/\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Question and answer Session<\/strong><\/li><li class=\"ulux-list-item\"><strong>15:30 \u2013 Close of the event<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"presentation-of-the-speakers-in-alphabetical-order\"\n    >\nPresentation of the speakers\u00a0(In alphabetical order)<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Franz Cl\u00e9ment<\/strong>\u00a0graduated in political science from the Universit\u00e9 catholique de Louvain and completed a postgraduate degree in sociology of work at Nancy 2 University.
