Digitalisation, ICT, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) are playing an ever greater role in everyday life and are transforming how universities fulfil their missions of research, education and societal, economic and cultural impact. The University of Luxembourg is contributing to Luxembourg’s ambition to become one of the most advanced digital societies and to position itself as a data-driven and sustainable economy. Donors can support the University in its quest to shape the digital world and address questions of data security and privacy, the digital divide in society, ethics and data security, and societal and technical trust. Those interested in encouraging an informed democratic and ethical debate in Luxembourg about digitalisation can also support the newly created Centre for Ethics of Digitalisation.
