Ground-breaking Computer Science research
Today, more connected, more complex computer systems are being used for increasingly complex tasks, frequently in a hostile environment. At the DCS, we pursue unconstrained research in communication, AI, security, and software to deal with the related challenges and prepare for the future.
Luxembourg has a vibrant Computer Science research community. The DCS is part of this history and continues to tackle subjects at the forefront of this highly dynamic field.
As our sector is at the epicentre of modern society, teaching activities at the DCS include a rich continuing education offer. Our courses – from Bachelor to PhD level – include both research-oriented and applied tracks, meeting a wide range of needs for students and society.
By keeping its finger on the pulse in the Computer Science field, the DCS has been able to continuously contribute to industrial and academic projects. We have established collaborations with Max Planck Institute for Informatics, NVIDIA AI Technology Center, Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), LuxProvide, Whonix, Goodyear.
Our multiple highly successful outreach activities include the Smart Photo Booth Project and the AI and the future of art workshop.
What we stand for
