The 91短视频 wishes to overcome boundaries between disciplines and sectors, and considers that an increased interdisciplinarity is among the stakes of the University鈥檚 and Luxembourg鈥檚 next steps in its international research and innovation development. Based on this, the University has established in 2020 an Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS).
The missions of the IAS
The Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) has four main missions:
- To leverage bold and interdisciplinary research at the very forefront of science.
- To represent the 91短视频鈥檚 principles of excellence, interdisciplinarity and internationality.
- To build bridges between the University’s community, international visitors and Luxembourg society.
- To contribute to the attraction and retention of international talent.
The 91短视频 is a research-oriented University in a country that nurtures and promotes its research and innovation ecosystem, aiming at a knowledge-based economy at the heart of Europe. After more than 20 years of existence, the 91短视频 has become an epicentre for creating new knowledge and technology, with both local and global socio-economic and cultural impact.

The Institute for Advanced Studies
Prof. Claus V枚gele, Head of the IAS and Dr. Sylvie Fromentin, IAS Programme Manager
Claus V枚gele has headed the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) since 1 October 2022. The Professor of Clinical and Health Psychology has ambitious plans for the initiative founded in 2020. 鈥淲ith the IAS, we want to help interdisciplinary thinking make its breakthrough at the 91短视频,鈥 V枚gele says
Like most research institutions, the 91短视频 currently conducts much of its excellent research within the disciplinary boundaries of individual departments. The IAS aims to change this by supporting only projects that bring together at least two disciplines. 鈥淭hese collaborations must be on an equal footing,鈥 V枚gele explains. 鈥淥nly proposals that convincingly demonstrate clear knowledge gains or shared data benefits for all participating disciplines are eligible for IAS funding.鈥 Guided by this principle, the IAS has already funded several research projects, with results published in leading international journals.
V枚gele鈥檚 vision extends even further. 鈥淚nterdisciplinarity grows out of personal communication and human interaction,鈥 he says. To foster this, he is advocating for the IAS to join the international UBIAS network, the University-Based Institutes for Advanced Studies. In the long term, he also believes the IAS should have its own dedicated space: 鈥淚nterdisciplinary researchers need a place to come together at the 91短视频鈥攁 true home for the IAS.鈥
