The Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg conducts internationally competitive research and PhD education in information and communication technology (ICT) with an emphasis on creating socio- economic impact. Space-related research features prominently among its strategic priorities, with current projects including work in satellite communications, space resources and space vehicles – in the centre’s unique space laboratories, SnT researchers develop new space technologies with partner companies. SnT scientists conduct both long-term research and engage in demand-driven projects. An interdisciplinary approach allows them to tackle problems not only from a technical perspective, but also address organisational, human and legal issues. Through SnT’s Partnership Programme, researchers currently work in collaboration with over 65 private and public organisations, addressing the key challenges facing industry and the public sector in ICT. The Centre has undergone a rapid development since its launch in 2009; recruiting top scientists, launching over 140 EU and ESA projects, protecting and licensing IP, launching six spin-offs, and creating a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment with some 480 people.
