Uni.Lu Signs Strategic Partnership for Big Data Analytics with CHOICE Technologies | ICT

Uni.Lu Signs Strategic Partnership for Big Data Analytics with CHOICE Technologies | ICT | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

The University of Luxembourg’s Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) has announced the signing of a strategic partnership agreement for a long-term collaboration, with CHOICE Technologies, with the intent of researching into new analytical methods in the field of Big Data.


SnT Director, Prof. Dr. Björn Ottersten, expressed his delight and optimism with the project agreement, saying that its global nature, demonstrates the worldwide appreciation for the centre’s expertise in IT applications for industry and the utilities.


CHOICE, headquartered in Luxembourg and with operations in Brazil, Colombia and Turkey, specialises in computer-based systems to detect irregularities in power grids. Brazil, and other developing countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia are undergoing rapid infrastructure expansion. As a result, electric energy suppliers are faced with the problem of non-technical losses in the power draw, due to, for example, electricity theft.


Denis Maciel Maia, CEO of CHOICE, also lauded the agreement, saying it was a decisive factor when choosing Luxembourg as its headquarters and that it will be a huge step forward in developing the necessary next-generation algorithms.

PhD candidate in photovoltaics selected to attend

Hossam Elanzeery is an AFR PhD candidate at the University of Luxembourg, working in the field of physics of photovoltaics in the laboratory of Professor Susanne Siebentritt. 

His research project focusses on the electrical characterization of Alkali-treated Copper-rich thin film solar cells. 

Hossam is amongst only 400 young scientists to have the unique opportunity to attend the Lindau Nobel Meeting, which will see around 30 Nobel Laureates in physics congregate in Lindau to meet the next generation of leading scientists and researchers. The FNR will sponsor Hossam’s attendance at the Meeting.

Hochschulranking: Uni.lu unter den 200 besten: Uni Luxemburg in guter Gesellschaft | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
Die Uni Luxemburg ist in einem aktuellen Ranking unter den 200 besten Hochschulen der Welt gelandet. Ein Fachmagazin war vor allem von der internationalen Ausrichtung der Uni.lu angetan.


Die Universitäten der Großregion rund um Luxemburg – zum Beispiel Trier, Saarbrücken und Metz – schafften es nicht in die Liste der 800 besten Universitäten.


Die zwei besten deutsche Universitäten waren die Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München und die Uni Heidelberg. In Frankreich landeten die ENS und die Ecole polytechnique oben. Beste belgische Universität ist die KU Löwen.
