SnT - Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust

Overview

In addition to long-term, high-risk research, SnT engages in demand driven collaborative projects with industry and the public sector. Therefore, the centre has set up a partnership program with now over 60 members, where it develops strategic areas addressing challenges confronting the industry and the public sector in ICT. These resulting concepts present a genuine, long-lasting competitive advantage for companies in Luxembourg and beyond.

The SnT - Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust programme from University of Luxembourg has undergone rapid development since its launch in 2009; recruiting top scientists, launching over 90 EU and ESA projects, creating a technology transfer office (TTO), protecting and licencing IP, launching four spin-off companies, and creating a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment with some 360 people.

SnT's Strategic Research Priorities

The SnT priority areas are aligned to objectives in the government’s Digital Lëtzebuerg strategy. Specifically, SnT's actions address the diversification of the economy, bring research actors closer to areas of important economic activity, strengthen Public-private partnerships (PPP) and increase Luxembourg’s international focus, especially through greater participation in European programmes.
