Launched in 2009 by the University of Luxembourg, SnT has grown to some 300 people conducting research and innovation in information and communication technology. In a short period of time, the centre has recruited top scientists (three ERC advanced grants), attracted strong support from strategic industrial partnerships (50+ partners with >€5 million in annual funding), and secured over €140 million in competitive funding including over a dozen ongoing projects in H2020. SnT builds long-term strategic partnerships with private and public actors -- this collaborative research model is a highly effective mechanism for direct impact on economic actors and activities in Luxembourg.
Launched in 2019, the ISM is a new Masters Degree program developed in partnership with the Luxembourg Space Agency. Characterised by its hands-on, project-based approach, it offers students an interdisciplinary education in the technical and business aspects of space missions, preparing them to enter the growing commercial space sector and launch their own venture. The Master encompasses state-of-the-art space research carried out at SnT by five research groups, which focus on satellite communications, automation, robotics, remote sensing and computer vision, with partners such as the FNR, ESA, NASA, Airbus and SES.
