LUE’s strategic priorities
The “Lorraine Université d’Excellence-LUE” initiative was selected by an international jury in the I-SITE category (which stands for Initiatives – Science – Innovation – Territories – Economy) of the Investments for the Future Programme (PIA) in 2016.
LUE taps into Lorraine’s local academic, scientific and socio-economic potential, with a core competency in engineering and the ambition to develop the international leadership of the Lorraine site in connection with six major societal challenges:
- Control of the entire materials value chain
- Sustainable management of natural resources and the environment
- Development of energies of the future and support with energy transition
- Trust in the digital world
- Innovative solutions to serve healthcare and ageing
- Development of language and knowledge engineering.
Labex, MODELS OF SUCCESS
Since 2012, the three Labex (Laboratories of Excellence) ARBRE, Ressources21 and DAMAS have been helping to energise the Lorraine site’s cutting-edge research scene, at national and global level alike. Their scientific achievements are contributing to Université de Lorraine’s recognition in the global rankings and make them channels of international cooperation with the academic community and socio-economic partners. Labex led the way in terms of the LUE drive for the Lorraine site and joined the Initiative d’Excellence in 2016.
