    The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine
    (FSTM) has undergone a remarkable development since the creation of the University in 2003. Its research has reached international recognition in all its main areas of research, and international leadership in an increasing number of topics.

    With almost 600 researchers, the five departments conduct internationally visible research in Mathematics, Physics and Materials Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. We aim at excellence in both fundamental and applied research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Industrial collaborations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              The University of Luxembourg is a world-class research university whose future activity is focused on three strategic areas that reflect key national and global challenges and trends: Digital transformation; Medicine and health; Sustainable and societal development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              To advance these goals, the University aims for a truly collaborative approach in delivering research and innovation with local and global socio-economic impact, and so looks to foster partnerships with private companies and the public sector.<\/p>\n\n\n
