EDUCATION 2023 - Annual Report SnT

EDUCATION

We attract doctoral candidates and academics to our centre from around the world, bringing top talent into the economy of Luxembourg.

Research projects with industry partners include funding for a dedicated doctoral candidate, who is both integrated at SnT as well as in the technical team of the partner organisation. This brings their skillset in-house for the project’s duration, and allows for the research outcomes to be directly transferable to industry application. When researchers leave SnT, and thanks to their close relationships with industry partners, it is common to find them employed just down the road from our campus.

Training Talents for the Space Industry

Since the foundation of SnT, our researchers have been working hand in hand with the satellite industry and public space sector on innovative research projects. With NewSpace industry opportunities and partnerships emerging across the heart of Europe, our Centre has expanded and formalised these space competencies into an entirely new Master’s degree programme.

The Master in Space Technologies and Business (formerly the Interdisciplinary Space Master) was developed in partnership with the Luxembourg Space Agency and is co-hosted by SnT, alongside the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine. With Luxembourg’s space sector already accounting for 2% of the country’s GDP, and opportunities growing every day, the programme aims to generate a talent pool of professionals able to answer the needs of the sophisticated and innovative companies who choose the Grand Duchy as their base. It is an education that works hand in hand with the nation’s economic strategy for space.

What our Researchers Say

"At SnT, I have the opportunity to work with top researchers from all parts of the world, broadening my knowledge in all aspects. The interdisciplinary approach of SnT with the availability of top notch robotic laboratories and equipment has strengthened my experimental validations and allowed me to achieve state-of-the-art publications."

“Doing my PhD at SnT was a game-changing experience. During my four years at the Automation and Robotics group, I was fortunate to discover the wonders of robotics and AI research within a friendly and nurturing environment.”

"I have a highly interdisciplinary background and could not find a better place to carry out research. I particularly enjoy the collaborative and open-minded atmosphere, where I have real academic freedom to research what I am truly passionate about: online trust."

"SnT is a unique environment where I acquired a lot of skills as well as a solid international and interdisciplinary experience. Offering a very pleasant working environment and all necessary resources, it is also the place where I took up my first important challenges."
