Anupam Sengupta has been named the next Head of the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Luxembourg, starting 1 October. His ERC (@erc.europa.eu) project studies how bacteria control light, work tied to cancer research and sustainable materials. #uni_lu #Research
Can quantum be sustainable? Experts discussed smarter space systems, energy-efficient computing and quantum-safe infrastructure at the 2nd Quantum & AI Breakfast of 2026. Full write-up: https://www.uni.lu/snt-en/news/sustainable-digital-future/ #QuantumAtUniLu
Congratulations to Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko on an ERC Proof of Concept Grant! His project BATMAT is building a machine-learning platform to screen the materials for next-generation batteries around 100 times faster than today's methods, before a sample is made in a lab. @erc.europa.eu #ERCPoC
Two weeks ago, we closed the first Quantum & AI Breakfast on a line that stayed with us: "AI is improving the engine. Quantum is beginning to redesign the road." On 8 July, we turn to #sustainability. 🧵
Tonight 49 PhD researchers from across the world opened the ESERA Doctoral School 2026 at the University of Luxembourg. From Chile to India, Denmark to Brazil: their research is asking what it really means to learn science. 🌍🔬 #ESERA2026 #uni_lu
#AI is improving the engine. Quantum is beginning to redesign the road. Three things from the first Quantum & AI Breakfast of 2026: → AI in logistics is business transformation, not software → The hard part is the data, not the algorithm → Adoption depends on trust 🧵 #QuantumAtUniLu
E schéinen Nationalfeierdag Lëtzebuerg 🇱🇺! As the celebrations start tonight , we hear from Jan Lagerwall, physics professor and Ambassador for the ERC in Luxembourg. #Amb4ERC. 🔗 Read more about his research @uni.lu 👉 bit.ly/4nw9bWN
🎉 On Luxembourg's National Day, congratulations to our Prof. Massimiliano Esposito on his ERC Advanced Grant! His project EOS asks how the principles of life emerge from physics and chemistry. Fittingly, Eos is the Greek goddess of the dawn. @erc.europa.eu #ERCAdG www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
57% of people can't name a single great-grandparent. Archive My Legacy, a University of Luxembourg startup, uses AI to turn scattered family photos and memories into one connected story, so you stop flipping through pictures and start reading lives. www.uni.lu/en/news/arch... #ArchiveMyLegacy
What can a river's tiniest life reveal about a whole region's health? @embl.org and partners, including our Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB), have launched a pilot project on the Moselle to study how microbial life responds to human pressure on the environment. 🦠💧
🌱 Powering a greener future, now official. The Luxembourg Hydrogen Valley (LuxHyVal) has reached a defining milestone: Enovos has taken its final investment decision, officially launching the project's implementation phase. 🧵
Can #AI be trusted with decisions about your money, your health, or your rights? The University of Luxembourg's @snt.uni.lu, with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology and the Luxembourg AI Factory, just released an open-source tool to test whether AI is trustworthy and #compliant. 👇
New open-source tool accelerates testing for trustworthy artificial intelligence
Luxembourg AI Factory released an open-source tool, the AI Assessment Sandbox Configurator, on 10 June 2026. Developed by LIST and SnT, the tool lets any organisation build a customised environment fo...

How do you educate people for a future no one can predict? Our Rector Jens Kreisel takes it on with Lisa Burke (@lisatb.bsky.social) on RTL Today (@todayradiobyrtl.bsky.social) Today: critical thinking and learning how to learn outlast whatever AI does next. Watch 👇 youtu.be/QUv3SYZm9Uc?...
Are we ready for the green transition? In 5 days, #UniverCITYTalks brings together research and industry voices to discuss emissions, energy affordability, hydrogen, renewables, smart systems and #Luxembourg’s energy future. 🔗 https://www.uni.lu/en/events/univercity-talks-green-transition/
Why do supply chains break? Often because the math behind them has outgrown the computers we use. #Quantum and #AI may change that. The first Quantum & AI Breakfast of 2026 explores how. 🗓️ 17 June, 08.30 to 11.00 📍 LU Chamber of Commerce 🎟️ Free, registration required 👉 www.uni.lu/fstm-en/even...
One week to go. #AI Café Competition Final, Tuesday 9 June at Cercle Cité, #Luxembourg. Eight teams pitch AI projects live, and the audience holds half the vote alongside the jury. Show up, help decide. Free entry, registration needed. www.uni.lu/en/events/ai... #uni_lu
On #WorldMSDay, meet the team at @uni.lu's Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine using cutting-edge microscopy to fight multiple sclerosis. 🧠🔬
What can quantum and AI really do for logistics, sustainability, health, cybersecurity or space? 5 free morning events between June & November. Researchers + industry, all before 11.00. 2nd edition after a successful 2025. 👉 https://quantum.uni.lu/quantum-breakfasts-2026/ #Quantum #AI #Luxembourg
New from #uni_lu: a Master in Pre- and Primary Education, launching in the 2026/2027 academic year. A four-year part-time programme designed for experienced teachers in the Luxembourgish school system. 🧵↓
Honoured to welcome EU Commissioner for Startups, Research & Innovation Ekaterina Zaharieva (@ec.europa.eu) to the University of Luxembourg in Kirchberg yesterday. Vice-Rector Simone Niclou presented the University; Maxime Cordy & Jan Lagerwall showed how science becomes real-world impact. #uni_lu
🇪🇺 Quo vadis, Europa? On #EuropeDay, four #uni_lu researchers ask what's at stake for Europe's ability to act: core values, competitiveness, strategic autonomy, and judicial cooperation. www.uni.lu/lcel-en/news... @lcel.uni.lu
Who decides what AI is allowed to decide about you? Loan approvals. Welfare cases. Migration decisions. The content in your feed. Dr. Elif Biber (@elifbiber.bsky.social), legal scholar at the University of Luxembourg, asks how our legal systems can even keep up. 🧵
Today, let's tell you a tale. Or rather, a Hale. A story of two #uni_lu alumni. 💙 It begins with a microscope, a childhood gift to a little girl in Lisbon. It continues with a biology student in Luxembourg who knows science needs business savvy too. 🧵👇
The Luxembourg government has appointed two new members to our Board of Governors, starting 1 May 2026. 👉 Prof. Raphaël Frank, succeeding Prof. Ludger Wirtz. 👉 Prof. Katharina M Fromm (Rector, Uni Fribourg), succeeding Prof. Yvonne Flour.
Two new members will join the University’s Board of Governors

#FactChecking can do more harm than good. Four years of research at #uni_lu on why our usual responses to misinformation backfire, and what actually works.
Truth, lies, and the grey zone of fake news
New research explores how misinformation spreads and how to stop it. A research team studied several high-profile cases, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the last US election, and the debate around climate change.
