Our People
The Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg stands out because of its dual approach. We define our work by focusing on excellence in fundamental scientific research, and give that work context through research partnerships. Our researchers collaborate with industry, government, and international partners, ensuring their projects are aligned with society’s current challenges. At the same time, we are active in several international research projects funded by the EU and the European Space Agency.
