truly cosmopolitan learning experience. 60% of students are international students, and the majority of staff members and academics have an international background. Our strategic development areas are digital transformation, medicine and health, and sustainable and societal development. Our students can choose between 23 Bachelor degrees and 47 Master degrees, as well as several vocational training and lifelong learning courses. Programmes are generally taught in two languages (French/English or French/German), some in three languages and some entirely in English, in particular at the Master level. All our Bachelor students spend one mandatory semester abroad. University Rankings

One month from today.

Monday 28 September is the first ever uni.lu Hoodie Day. Students, staff and alumni all wear their uni.lu hoodie on the same day, on campus and anywhere else in the world.

Wear the one with uni.lu on the front, however old it is. All of us in the same hoodie, once a year, is how you get to see what this community actually looks like. Don't have one? Come anyway, we're not checking labels.

If you're on Belval: be on the parvis before 12.00. There's nothing to register for, just turn up. We take the group photo at 12:09 sharp, and there is a reason it isn't 12:00.

If you're anywhere else in the world: wear it at your desk, in your city, in front of a landmark, with your kids or your dog. Post it and tag us, and we'll reshare all day.

No hoodie yet? The online shop is on its way, and we'll post here the day it opens. Now you've seen the colours, at least.

201 million years ago, roughly 80% of species on Earth disappeared. Part of the evidence is buried under Luxembourg.

The rock layers from the Triassic-Jurassic transition are unusually well preserved here, and often close enough to the surface that no deep borehole is needed to reach them. That makes Luxembourg a genuinely useful place to study one of the five great mass extinctions.

Dr Natascha Kuhlmann and an international team of geologists have been reconstructing what happened. Volcanic eruptions from the largest volcanic province the planet has ever produced pushed huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, driving rapid warming and ocean acidification. A new study in Nature Geoscience adds widespread wildfires to the picture. And slightly earlier, an asteroid strike near Limoges sent a megatsunami 500 kilometres north, as far as Luxembourg. Traces of it are still in the sediment.

Why it matters today: the causes of the current climate crisis are different, but the comparison shows what a rapid rise in CO2 does to a planet. Today's biodiversity crisis is sometimes called the sixth mass extinction, and understanding the fifth helps us see what is at stake.

Have you ever looked at a painting and felt your mood change?

For Dr Bereket Yilma, it happened twice during one museum visit. A painting of Cinque Terre brought him back to a peaceful memory during a difficult period. The next artwork triggered a very different reaction.

That contrast stayed with him: could art be personalised to respond to what someone is feeling?

Twelve years later, that question has become ArtAICare. Developed from research at the University of Luxembourg with Prof. Luis Leiva and international partners, the platform is designed to help therapists use personalised visual art in their work.

Bringing it to life took persistence. When attempts to secure funding were unsuccessful in 2024, Bereket financed the platform’s development himself, working during evenings, weekends and annual leave.

At its heart is a simple principle: AI should not replace therapists. It should help them do their work.

Read the story, then tell us: has a work of art ever changed how you felt? 🎨

Science becomes tangible when you can test it for yourself. 🔬
 
For four days, 16 high-school students stepped into a biology lab for the Scienteens Academy in Systems Biology.
 
Guided by researchers, they studied the growth behaviour of the bacterium Escherichia coli, discovered techniques such as spectrophotometry, explored enzymatic reactions and analysed the data they collected.
 
Combining scientific presentations with hands-on laboratory work, the academy gave participants a first-hand look at how biology and data analysis come together in research.

Swipe through for a glimpse of their time in the lab. 🧫
 
The Scienteens Academy is organised by the Scienteens Lab with the support of the Fondation Loutsch-Weydert.

Starting university in a new city, sometimes in a new country, is a big step. Welcome Week exists so that nobody takes it alone.

From Tuesday 8 to Friday 11 September, our new students get to know Belval Campus: mornings that begin with breakfast together at the Maison du Savoir, a workshop on studying in the age of AI, an afternoon around the Climate Fresk, sport out on the Esplanade, and above all, time to meet the people they will spend the next years with.

On Friday comes . The Rector opens the academic year, faculties and student associations fill the floors of the Maison du Savoir, and food trucks line the Esplanade for a first lunch as part of the university.

Invitations arrive by email to our new students. The programme and answers to the most common questions are at welcomeweek.uni.lu

From data to discovery: uncovering hidden interaction networks with machine learning
Aoran Wang, recipient of the Excellence Thesis Award 2025, develops methods to reveal the hidden networks that shape complex dynamical systems.

His thesis tackles a key question: how can we infer the structure of interacting systems such as climate, ecosystems, or neural and social networks, directly from data, without prior knowledge of the governing equations? He proposes deep-learning approaches that learn these structures from time-series data, even when observations are noisy, sparse, or high-dimensional, and clarifies when these methods are reliable.

To support reproducibility across fields, he also developed StructInfer, an open benchmark for evaluating structural inference methods in a consistent way.

Together, his work provides tools for uncovering interaction patterns in complex systems and contributes to more interpretable, data-driven science.

A sea of glowing connections: each point is a variable, each line a hidden interaction; revealing structure directly from data.

👏 Congratulations on this achievement!

This Wednesday 8 July, the 15th Rolf Tarrach Award ceremony takes place at the Chambre de Commerce in Kirchberg, from 18.00.

Les Amis de l'Université du Luxembourg will honour Dr Thomas Lavigne, laureate of the award for the best doctoral thesis at the University of Luxembourg, for his research on how prolonged pressure restricts blood flow and damages human skin. His work helps clinicians predict and prevent pressure ulcers in vulnerable patients.

Prof. Rolf Tarrach, Rector Emeritus, will give the keynote "Randomness against Biases," followed by closing remarks from Rector Prof. Jens Kreisel. With music by the University of Luxembourg Choir and a cocktail reception at 19.30.

Entry is free, registration required:

🔋 Congratulations to Prof. Alexandre Tkatchenko on an ERC Proof of Concept Grant!

For years, with the support of an European Research Council Advanced Grant, Prof. Tkatchenko's team has worked on modelling how molecules and materials behave at the quantum level, and on making those very accurate methods work at a large scale. A Proof of Concept grant helps take that kind of research towards a real use.

That is what his project BATMAT is about. Testing a single candidate battery material at high accuracy today can take enormous amounts of computing time, which is one reason good materials are found so slowly. His team is building a machine-learning platform that aims to do the same job around 100 times faster.

In practice, it means many more possible materials can be tested on a computer, before anyone makes a single sample in a lab. The goal is to help find the materials behind safer, longer-lasting batteries, the kind that matter for electric vehicles, clean energy and the grid.

This round, 182 researchers across Europe were funded from 554 proposals. We are proud to see this work taking shape at the University of Luxembourg.
