Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) researchers and innovation experts develop skills and activities around three main domains: environment, IT  and materials. Scientific excellence and interdisciplinarity are key to our projects.

• Environment: we develop strategies, technologies and tools to better monitor, assess, use and safeguard natural and renewable resources.  Its research topics are water security and safety, plant science and biotechnologies, life cycle sustainability and risk assessment, and e-Science.

• IT: we develop IT services within an open innovation process integrating all stakeholders concerned. Our research focuses on “big data” operational issues for decision-making, use of information systems in measuring and controlling the quality of services in networked enterprises, and tools for supporting innovation processes in IT services. 

• Materials: we focus our activities on advanced materials and nanotechnologies. Our research and technology activities target two main areas: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, and composite materials.
