The University of Luxembourg contributes to the national objective of developing a robust health system based on excellence in research and training in the (bio)medical, clinical and public health fields.<\/p>\n\n\n

    The University has formulated a 10-year strategy aimed at supporting the evolution of the Luxembourg healthcare system and preparing for the potential creation of a Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The implementation of this strategy will be the subject of a specific agreement, and will require a number of measures for successful delivery, notably: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Accelerating the recruitment of professors and teachers in medicine and healthcare. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • strengthening alliances with hospitals and health sector stakeholders <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • implementing the Luxembourg Research Clinic (Fuerschungsklinik L\u00ebtzebuerg)<\/em>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • extending the Bachelor’s degree in medicine to a Master’s degree in medicine and developing a range of medical specialisations. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Over the period 2026-29, the University will also intensify the use of data science, AI and digital technologies in health and biomedical research, and strengthen synergies between the fields of medicine & health and public health, psychology, and behavioural and cognitive sciences.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n
