Support the Scienteens Lab
The Scienteens Lab is made possible through collaborations with national and international partners, and thanks to the generous support of several sponsors. If you would like to contribute to our mission, several options are available to you. Don’t hesitate to contact our fundraiser.
Hands-on science education
The Scienteens Lab currently offers activities in biology, mathematics, computer science, physics and sustainable development. We have explored different formats and, in addition to interactive workshops for classes, we organise internships and summer schools for highly motivated students.
As a young initiative, philanthropy is vital to our success as it helps us to develop new workshops on a regular basis and to provide excellent infrastructure for pupils. We invite you to explore the various activities (workshops & Scienteens Academies) you can contribute to and see the impact of your support.
With the Scienteens Lab, you are investing not only in the present but also in the future of education.

‟ Over a decade already since we started this journey: Creating a space within the University of Luxembourg to inspire teenagers and spark their interest in sciences. Many contributed to make this adventure possible and the support of several sponsors was key in our success. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all who encouraged the Scienteens Lab along the way. Your interest and trust got us here.”

In September 2013 the Luxembourg University Foundation was launched. The Foundation’s objectives are to support the academic and scientific activities, as well as initiatives of general interest of the University.
The Luxembourg University Foundation has been granted an initial capital of one million euros and has been placed in the professional care of the Fondation de Luxembourg, which will provide financial and operational management, as well as supervision.
It is also hoped that the Foundation will assist the University in attracting additional international funding.
Our Fundraising charter (in French, PDF) provides additional information regarding patronage activities and corporate philanthropy.
