About

The missions of the ULIDE

The University of Luxembourg Institute for Digital Ethics (ULIDE) is a transversal research hub across the faculties and interdisciplinary centres of Uni.lu, exploring the complex relationship between technology, society, and ethics. Our research focuses on the social impact of digitalisation and related questions of applied ethics.

Our mission is to:

• Analyse the ethical and societal challenges arising from digitalisation and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
• Explain and evaluate these challenges for both digital professionals and the general public.
• Advise the government, public administrations, educational institutions, companies, and international players working with AI and big data.

Founded in 2025 and located on Belval Campus, ULIDE will integrate scientific discourse, political consulting, and public communication. Our researchers collaborate across the University’s Faculties and Interdisciplinary Centres, bridging disciplinary boundaries.

The Institute builds on pioneering initiatives such as Digital Luxembourg, AI4Gov, and the Luxembourg Digital Innovation Hub (L-DIH). We actively engage with key national projects and leverage both national and international networks. This strengthens our research and outreach activities, ensuring that our contributions are globally informed and locally relevant. Our approach aims to foster a digital ecosystem that is innovative, responsible, and inclusive.

Through its interdisciplinary approach, ULIDE plays a vital role in Luxembourg’s strategy for navigating the ethical landscape of digital transformation.
