The University of Luxembourg and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate around improved educational experiences through the use of cutting-edge cloud technology.

The purpose of the MoU is to strengthen the collaboration in cloud computing, quantum computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning. This represents a strategic approach to modernising education, focusing on key areas including skills development, research, AI integration, and innovative learning technologies. By using generative AI, professors and educators can create personalised content and exam questions, evaluate assessments, translate documents, and even create podcasts and other creative assets. This saves time for more value-adding tasks, improving both the teaching and learning experience and ultimately creates an AI-supported student-centered learning ecosystem.

Innovative Lecture tool
One of the key solutions powered by AWS and already implemented at the University of Luxembourg is Lecture. This new tool enables to break traditional academic boundaries, empower educators, and create more personalised and engaging teaching and learning environments.

Lecture is not just another off-the-shelf tool. It’s a flexible solution that uses AI capabilities to make learning more engaging and personalised than ever before. It allows students to customise their models and seamlessly integrate them with their own learning management systems, as demonstrated by this successful adoption at the University .”

Empowering the next generation

The MoU showcases how technology, including generative AI, can transform educational institutions and improve both teaching and learning experiences.

“This collaboration focused on innovative technologies benefits students and researchers, and ultimately society. It is a perfect example of the positive impact that public and private partnerships can bring”

Vice Rector for Partnerships and International Relations, University of Luxembourg

This MoU represents more than a technological collaboration, it also highlights our dedication to preparing students for an increasingly digital and AI-driven world. By providing cutting-edge tools and fostering a culture of continuous learning, we are empowering the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers.”
