University of Luxembourg
Mission
The University of Luxembourg strongly supports excellence in integrity and ethics in research .
Contribution to Open Science
In 2012, the University of Luxembourg signed a collaboration agreement with the University of Liège (Belgium) for the implementation of its own institutional repository, ORBilu. Alongside the platform, the University made the deposit of the full-text of all peer-reviewed work mandatory (not necessarily in Open Access). Through the various OpenAIRE projects, the University library continued building up its advocacy and its services to researchers over the years. Between 2017 and 2019, the library organised several bigger events promoting the importance of Open Science practices. In 2021, the University of Luxembourg officially signed the DORA declaration, aligning itself with the national funder (FNR) and many other institutions worldwide.
Goals and objectives
The Library team wants to keep making new tools and services available to researchers, alongside the emergence of new international standards and best practices in Open Science.
