At the University of Luxembourg, collaboration is at the heart of research and innovation. By working closely with public institutions, industry, civil society and the wider public, we transform scientific knowledge into solutions that address real‑world challenges.
Our innovation, collaboration and engagement activities span the full research cycle: from co‑designing research projects and training talent to transferring knowledge, supporting entrepreneurship and engaging with society. Together with our partners, we aim to create lasting scientific, economic and societal impact in Luxembourg, Europe and beyond.

Bringing knowledge into the real‑world
The University relies on partnerships with private and public partners and uses instruments such as endowed chairs, co-sponsored PhDs, or joint and co-designed research programmes. Research activities at the University have already led to the founding of several spin-offs.
The transfer of findings often relies on hard sciences and technology, but the University also seeks partnerships which harness knowledge generated in social sciences, humanities, and law, thus also promoting social entrepreneurship.
Supporting innovation and entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a key component of the University’s engagement with society. The University Incubator supports members of the University community (including alumni) who wish to develop entrepreneurial ideas. It offers workshops, mentoring and training, and hosts start‑ups and spin‑offs originating from University research.
