Future materials

This partnership fostering academic excellence and industrial innovation will benefit both the University through an enhanced skill set of engineering alumni and CERATIZIT through access to cutting-edge research and emerging talent.

The CERATIZIT Chair, hosted within the Department of Engineering at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine, will include two doctoral candidates and two postdoctoral researchers that will contribute to existing programmes at the Bachelor, Master and doctoral levels, with an emphasis on the practical needs of the industry. Adding to the outstanding infrastructures of the University, such as engineering laboratories and HPC cluster, laboratory equipment at the CERATIZIT facilities in Mamer, Luxembourg, will also be available for teaching and research.
