The University of Luxembourg has announced it will host the first Frontiers Day of the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) on Monday 5 October 2026 at Tramsschapp in Luxembourg-Limpertsberg.
The event aims to bring together students, researchers, industry representatives and public leaders to foster collaboration, showcase innovation and engage stakeholders. This will be a unique opportunity to highlight success stories with current partners and find new potential partners.
The theme of this first edition is “AI and Science: when research meets industry and society”. How can researchers and industry partners co‑create knowledge that is both cutting‑edge and socially meaningful? How do we ensure that AI‑driven science remains open, responsible and aligned with human values? And how can Luxembourg position itself as a leader in this new era of intelligent innovation?
