The key goal of the DTU 3E is to bring together members of 5 research units in Luxembourg who conduct social science research using the experimental method (Luxembourg Institute of Socio Economic Research LISER; Integrative Research Unit on Social and Individual Development INSIDE; Institute of Cognitive Science and Assessment COSA; Luxembourg School of Finance LSF; and Luxembourg Centre of Logistics LCL).

The aim of this new research consortium is to join forces across disciplines to embark in a comprehensive and innovative investigation of the interactions between economic decision making and ethics. This new research will include aspects of decision-making both within the household and in the workplace, and will explore the tension that often exists in these contexts between individual profit maximization and moral or ethical choices. We will use a variety of methods, all linked by the experimental approach, from behavioral economics experiments to computer science applications, to neuroscience techniques.

Our PhD students will be trained in this rich, multi-disciplinary environment and will learn to use scientific experiments in the social sciences from the perspective of economics, psychology, neuroscience and computer science, This training environment is virtually unique in Europe and will give our PhD students a strong competitive edge to become the research leaders of tomorrow.

The benefits of our consortium extend beyond its scientific merits and the potential for PhD training: the union of 5 prominent research units in Luxembourg will foster cross-institutional collaborations and will be a crucial step towards the establishment of a joint centre of excellence for the study of human behavior in Luxembourg.

New Doctoral Training Unit

With the free movement of people within the EU, decreasing transportation and communication costs, global inequality and political instability around the world, more and more individuals have been crossing borders in recent decades, either as permanent or temporary migrants, as daily transnational commuters, or as refugees. These cross-border movements generate important challenges for EU countries in general, and for Luxembourg in particular. In Luxembourg, foreigners account for about 50% of the total population and daily commuters nearly double the size of the national labor force. In this context, ACROSS aims to develop tools to monitor, analyze and improve the understanding of the causes and consequences of these flows – a prerequisite for relevant advice to policy-makers . It gathers economists and geographers from LISER , from the Department of Economics and Finance of the University of Luxembourg , and from the Research Division of STATEC (the National Institute of statistics and economic studies). The three partner institutions aim to create a team of excellence on cross-border mobility, a team where migration and labor market scholars can interact together with data providers, and where new generations of PhD students can benefit from synergies between institutions. Within the consortium, co-promotion will be systematically encouraged to reinforce the links between institutions as well as to train 4 younger researchers in PhD supervision. ACROSS builds on the doctoral education support of the Graduate Studies Program (GraSp) at LISER and of the Doctoral Schools of Economics and Finance (DSEF).

The Doctoral Training Unit (DTU) on Data-driven Computational Modelling and Applications (DRIVEN) trains cohorts of Doctoral Candidates who develop data-driven modelling approaches common to a number of applications strategic to the Luxembourgish Research Area and Luxembourg's Smart Specialisation Strategies . The DTU creates a bridge between strong methodological core competencies and application domains by training each Doctoral Candidate both in state-of-the-art data-driven approaches, and in the particular application domain in which these approaches are expected to lead to new discoveries: Computational Physics and Engineering, Computational Biology and Life Sciences, Computational Behavioural and Social Sciences.

Funded by the Fonds National de la Recherche (FNR), DRIVEN will result in a group of scholars that enriches Luxembourg's socio-economic landscape not only with expertise in data-driven discovery and machine learning , but also with a fundamental understanding of how these approaches can be of most use to a wide range of focus areas. We are strengthening the data-driven repertoire in areas already benefiting from these techniques, and strive to establish similar techniques in areas where these approaches are only nascent.

By embedding DRIVEN in the existing Doctoral Schools of the University of Luxembourg , a transversal Doctoral Programme becomes available, spanning across Faculties and reaching out to the Interdisciplinary Centres, as well as to the public research centres LIST and LISER. DRIVEN benefits from an existing doctoral education framework and established best practices, allowing to focus on innovative doctoral training strategies for its highly interdisciplinary research directions .

DRIVEN contributes, in conjunction with strong national and European initiatives such as Digital Lëtzebuerg and the Important Project of Common European Interest on HPC and Big Data Enabled Applications , to boosting Luxembourg's competitiveness thanks to an increased ability to make use of the vast amount of data generated worldwide on a daily basis.

The collaborative Doctoral Training Unit MINLAB is funded under the framework of the PRIDE scheme of the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR). It emerges from a strong cooperation between two faculties of the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER).

The DTU on “Migration, Inequalities and Labour Markets” (MINLAB) consists of an interdisciplinary group of 16 supervisors affiliated to two Doctoral Schools who present a joint strategy for research and PhD training, and provide an innovative high quality training environment.

MINLAB specifically supports the development of applied socio-economic research (Economics and Quantitative Sociology) on issues around migration, labour markets and inequalities.

The DTU gathers members across three Luxembourgish research units and institutions:

• the Center for Research in Economics Analysis and Management (CREA) and the department of Economics and Management in the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) at the University of Luxembourg (UL)
• the INtegrative research unit on Social and INdividual DEvelopment (INSIDE) in the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education (FLSHASE) at the University of Luxembourg (UL)
• the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER)

The DTU benefits from CREA's excellence in economics and methodology, INSIDE's expertise in quantitative socio-economic analysis of inequality and social problems, and LISER's comparative advantage in public policy analysis.

Two doctoral schools are involved in the DTU: the Doctoral School of Economics and Finance (DSEF) and the Doctoral School in Social Sciences (DSSS) which are respectively responsible for the doctoral education in Economics (for CREA in FDEF) and Social Sciences (for INSIDE in FLSHASE).

The DTU finances employment of PhD students for up to 4 years, organizes training and provides generous funding for participation to workshops and conferences.

The Doctoral School in Social Sciences at the University of Luxembourg

The Doctoral School in Social Sciences (DSSS) is based in the Faculty of Language and Literature, Humanities, Arts and Education of the University of Luxembourg.

The DSSS is dedicated to the study of social change—one of the most urgent and pressing phenomena in Europe today—and sustainable economic development as the answer to regulate and steer as well as prevent impacts of social change. Sound scientific descriptions and previsions of socio-economic developments in core areas of social life as well as a sound sustainable policy on integration and social inclusion, employment, education and health provision are required in order to balance social and economic demands. One of the leading tasks of a university at the beginning of the 21st century is to develop research programmes that elaborate knowledge structures and action models which will secure a sustainable social development.

The general aim of the doctoral school is to develop international and interdisciplinary research excellence and to prepare the candidates for an academic career in research as well as other professional careers in the field of social sciences, economics, social policy as well as social management and development.

20. Doctoral candidate (PhD student) in the field of contemporary history/history of technology

Historical scholarship has only recently started to investigate the period “after the boom”. Western societies have experienced dramatic economic, societal and cultural changes since the industrial crisis of the 1970s and the following massive deindustrialization. In 1975, Luxembourg was hit by the steel crisis and the country’s largest employer, the steel company ARBED, threatened to cut back production and jobs at large. In the following decades, the country was oscillating between the management of industrial decline and a new boom in finance and service economy. The envisioned project will take Esch-Belval as a point of departure. The former iron and steel works, built in 1909/11, largely refurbished and expanded after the Second World War, was partly closed in the late 1990s and transformed into a new urban district. Today, it hosts the campus of the University of Luxembourg. The project will investigate the structural change in the country since the steel crisis, taking the entangled regional, national and transnational developments into its focus. The project will collaborate with the research group “Confronting Decline: Challenges of Deindustrialization in Western Societies since the 1970s” (CONDE) at the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History (IfZ) in Munich. Joint workshops and conferences are planned.

A first research challenge, lies in determining the suitable optimization metric (Mean Square Error, Signal to Noise Ratio, Detection probability etc.). Challenges also arise in determining a parametric model for waveforms that can be used for different flavors of MIMO radar and deriving update methods (or optimizing) for the parameters in the presence of high-mobility leading to poor coherence times.

31. PhD candidate in Machine Learning at the edge of the Smart Grid

In this PhD thesis, the focus is on ML task offloading and resource allocation strategy under Fog-Cloud hybrid systems. More concretely, the research carried out in this thesis investigates how a given ML task can be divided into sub-tasks, and how those sub-tasks can be dynamically allocated between Cloud and Edge nodes under the multiple constraints of networking, security, computing power and energy consumption. This is known as a cost minimization problem under edge and cloud resource constraints, which is recognized as NP-hard [Ya18]. Federated and/or multi-task learning techniques will likely be considered in this respect, as they offer interesting features for task subdivision possibilities. The proposed ML task offloading strategy will be implemented and evaluated based on use case scenario defined in the (renewable) energy sector. The overall idea is to deploy the algorithm on nanogrid controllers that are limited in terms of computational capacity, memory and storage, which have to forecast future parameters such as anticipated energy demands and renewable generation outputs (e.g., predicted PV production).

Princess Elisabeth of Belgium Is Going to Grad School at Harvard

Starting this summer, Belgium’s Princess Elisabeth will join the long list of royals who have decamped to the United States. But unlike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the future queen’s stay will likely be temporary. On Tuesday, the Belgian Monarchy announced that Elisabeth is planning to enroll at Harvard Kennedy School of Government to get a master’s degree.

“She recently passed the entrance tests for the Master in Public Policy,” read a statement on the monarchy’s website. “This two-year master’s degree will complement her university education after her bachelor's degree in history and politics at the University of Oxford (Lincoln College). The Princess was also selected for an Honorary Award from the Fulbright Program, the US State Department’s international educational exchange program.”

The 22-year-old princess is first in Belgium’s line of succession, as the oldest of four children born to King Phillippe and Queen Mathilde. Before beginning her studies at Oxford, Elisabeth attended UWC Atlantic, a boarding school in Wales sometimes referred to as “ Hippie Hogwarts ” and spent a year training at the country’s Royal Military Academy. Though she left the academy after a year, she continued to return for summer training camps and was sworn in as an officer last September.

According to the Fulbright commission for Belgium and Luxembourg, 25 students are given grants for graduate study in the United States annually. The program, which began funding students from Belgium in 1948, aims to foster cooperation and academic exchange.

The tests Elisabeth passed likely included either the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), along with an exam proving her proficiency in English. In addition to those qualifications, the Harvard MPP program also asks applicants to provide “evidence of quantitative proficiency” in the form of success in undergraduate level mathematics, economics, and statistics courses.

The princess is not the first member of the Belgian royal family to attend graduate school in the US. In 1985, her father received a master’s degree in political science from Stanford University, following two years as a student in Palo Alto.

Two Blugolds selected for 2024-25 Fulbright awards

Monday, May 13, 2024

Photo caption: Blugold Zachary May will be returning to Argentina, where he was part of a faculty-led international immersion experience, to participate in an English teaching assistantship through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.

Immersing themselves in the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s international travel opportunities expanded the worldview of two Blugolds who have been selected for 2024-25 Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards, the recipients say.

Zachary May, who graduated in December 2023, will participate in an English teaching assistantship in Argentina, while May 2023 graduate Anna Wendorff will be an English teaching assistant in South Korea.

Colleen Marchwick, director, Center for International Education

UW-Eau Claire’s combination of strong academic programs and experiential learning helps prepare students to “build the knowledge and skills to become a successful Fulbright applicant,” says Colleen Marchwick, director of UW-Eau Claire’s Center for International Education.

“The high-impact experiences at UWEC create spaces where students can put into practice their academic learning and challenge themselves to grow personally,” Marchwick says. “This combination allows students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to thrive, whether the student is pursuing Fulbright, grad school or entering the workforce.”

UW-Eau Claire is consistently among the top master’s universities in the nation for the number of students who receive Fulbright grants.

Six Blugolds applied for Fulbright awards for 2024-25, with five becoming semifinalists. Madalyn McCabe of New Berlin, who graduated in May 2023 with a degree in social studies education, is an alternate for an English teaching assistantship in Luxembourg. 

May, of Lake Geneva, graduated in December 2023 with a double major in Spanish liberal arts and Latin American studies, minors in interdisciplinary linguistics and organizational communication, and a certificate in Teaching English as a foreign language. He credits the Spanish department, Latin American and Latinx studies department, CIE and the McNair Program for preparing him for the Fulbright experience.

“It really highlights the importance of interdisciplinary degrees, high-impact practices and pushing yourself to do your best at all times,” May says of the Fulbright award. “Through both the Spanish and LAS departments I was able to better understand the importance of learning another language and another culture because that allows you to appreciate the world in so many new ways.”

May will be returning to Argentina, where he was part of a faculty-led international immersion experience in Mendoza, where he also did his TEFL internship. May also studied abroad in Chile and calls his South American experiences “huge milestones in my life.”

“I grew a lot not only academically, but as a person as well,” May says of his international experiences. “Anyone I’ve talked to can confirm that I almost always talk about my experiences abroad. I cannot emphasize enough how impactful and amazing it was for me.”

May’s future goals include earning a master’s degree in international and comparative education to learn more about educational policies at the local, national and global levels.

Wendorff, of Stillwater, Minnesota, graduated in May 2023 with a double major in English, rhetorics of science, technology and culture emphasis, and organizational communication. Wendorff says she appreciates the support of her family, friends and faculty members who “saw something in me when I doubted myself.”

“Being a Fulbright recipient ignites the deepest parts of my soul,” Wendorff says. “It aligns with long-held wholehearted wishes. My dream was to live abroad. And then my lifelong enduring love is English. To accomplish this at 23 is something indescribable.”

May 2023 graduate Anna Wendorff will be an English teaching assistant in South Korea through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.

Wendorff says faculty in the UW-Eau Claire’s communication and journalism department provide her with a “culture of free-flowing support,” singling out Dr. Kris Knutson, department chair and associate professor of communication and journalism, who allowed students to pursue research projects they were interested in.

Research was at the core of Wendorff’s experiences at UW-Eau Claire, giving her an opportunity to learn more about the world. She presented at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, including a presentation on news coverage of the North Korean missile crisis that piqued her interest in South Korea.

As a photography enthusiast, she is interested in exploring the geography of the Asian country and looks forward to shooting photos of the coasts and mountains of South Korea. She also plans to learn more about South Korean cooking from her host family.

Wendorff looks forward to seeing her classroom in South Korea and working with her students.

“There's a lot that I can teach but also learn from my students as well,” Wendorff says. “And that's what is so beautiful about the Fulbright program: the enduring cultural exchange and ambassadorship.”

Wendorff plans to complete a Ph.D. in English and earn a law degree, combining her academic passions.

The  Fulbright U.S. Student Program application cycle is now open. Students may contact Colleen Marchwick or Anna Dresnack in the CIE for more information.

MIT Supply Chain Management Program earns top honors in three 2024 rankings

Previous image Next image

MIT's Supply Chain Management (SCM) Master's Program, housed within the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics (CTL) at the Institute's School of Engineering, has been named top master's program for supply chain management for 2024 by three leading global rankings institutions: QS World University Rankings, Eduniversal, and Supply Chain Digital .

QS World University Rankings, recognized for its thorough evaluation of over 1,500 institutions across 104 locations worldwide, has singled out MIT SCM as the premier program in the field. QS considers five main facets in determining rankings: employability of degree recipients; alumni CEO and executive outcomes; tuition, alumni salaries, and return on investment; thought leadership and research impact; and class and faculty diversity. With an emphasis on career sustainability and growth, QS's acknowledgment reflects MIT's commitment to preparing students for success in today's dynamic business landscape.

Eduniversal, known for its exhaustive review of over 5,800 master's and MBA programs across 50-plus fields of study spanning more than 150 countries, also bestowed the No. 1 ranking upon MIT's SCM program. Eduniversal's assessment takes into consideration the MIT Global SCALE Network of six innovation centers (MIT CTL, Ningbo China Institute for Supply Chain Innovation, Zaragoza Logistics Center, Center for Latin-American Logistics Innovation, the Malaysia Institute for Supply Chain Innovation, and Luxembourg Center for Logistics and Supply Chain Management), underscoring MIT's global impact and leadership in real-world applications in supply chain education.

Supply Chain Digital , a leading industry publication with an audience of global logistics executives, recently honored MIT CTL as the provider of the No. 1 supply chain program globally. This recognition highlights MIT’s influence in shaping the future of supply chain from the perspective of company leadership and management.

In addition to its master’s program, MIT CTL offers an online MicroMasters program, which registered its one-millionth learner in late 2022. After finishing the online program, certificate holders can apply to MIT (and other universities) and obtain a full master’s degree in a single semester.

“Our program prides itself on its interdisciplinary curriculum and close collaboration with industry leaders,” says Maria Jesús Saénz, executive director of the MIT SCM Masters Programs, “so that our graduates can emerge equipped with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to tackle the complex and dynamic challenges facing modern supply chains. We are as committed as ever to fostering excellence and driving positive, real-world challenges.”

MIT CTL has been a world leader in supply chain management education and research for more than five decades. The center has made significant contributions to supply chain and logistics and has helped numerous companies gain competitive advantage from its cutting-edge research.

“We are thrilled by the recognition of the SCM program by these esteemed organizations,” says Professor Yossi Sheffi, director of the MIT CTL. “This achievement reflects the dedication of our faculty, staff, and students in serving as a world leader in supply chain management education and research by driving supply chain innovation into practice.”
