To add value to society and tackle emerging societal challenges, the University seeks to reach out to external audiences and transfer knowledge.
Various activities have been developed over the years to generate interest in science and research among children, secondary school students, potential future students, school teachers and the general public. Outreach activities also help to promote academic culture in Luxembourg and initiate and drive societal debates by leveraging scientific expertise.
