When the University of Luxembourg was founded in 2003, decision-makers had to navigate both national and global contexts, noted the university. Domestically, they needed to take into account existing structures and concepts of higher education. At the same time, higher education worldwide was undergoing significant transformation. The narrative of an emerging knowledge society, was particularly influential.
In this upcoming presentation, doctoral researcher Almuth Axtner will explore how these factors shaped the university in its formative years.
