About

INSTRUCT is an industry-led research partnership between SES (the leader in global content connectivity solutions) and the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg. The project envisions to create a fundamental shift in the existing ecosystem of 5G wireless systems towards a ubiquitous, intelligent, self-organised and secured satellite-terrestrial integrated system exploiting ground-breaking Satellite Communications (SatCom) technologies. The main goals of the INSTRUCT project are: – Building on 10 years of collaborative research experience between SnT and SES, to initiate a long-term structured research programme between SnT and SES by: (i) Seamlessly integrating and valorising SatCom systems in Beyond 5G Networks (ii) Interconnecting and expanding joint lab validation facilities available at both ends (iii) Utilising the interdisciplinary expertise of two research groups (SigCom and SVV) within SnT – Train the next generation of SatCom researchers and professionals – Intensify the Knowledge Transfer between SnT and SES – Create innovation opportunities within the Luxembourgish SatCom ecosystem – Provide significant innovations in the area of High Performance Networks and build towards Luxembourg’s vision as a global hub for space and satellite services.
