The University has therefore chosen to slow down the growth of spending in 2020 and 2021 to build a buffer that will allow the University to keep growing even in years in which the public endowment might not. Slow-down is however not equivalent to budget cuts, stated Prof. St\u00e9phane Pallage, who indicated that the University\u2019s entities will continue to grow at a certain speed in 2021.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, 14 January 2021 Prof. St\u00e9phane Pallage, Rector of the University of Luxembourg addressed his New Year wishes to the members of the University community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":8031,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[10],"news-topic":[],"organisation":[233],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
