The Scienteens Lab

De Labo fir Jonker

The Scienteens Lab is the first research lab for high-school students in Luxembourg. It is an extracurricular learning centre of the University of Luxembourg that offers workshops designed to spark their interest in science, show them the latest trends and technologies in research and supports them in their career choice.

Hands-on experiments, supervised by experienced scientists and teachers from various disciplines, provide the students an insight into scientific research and the day-to-day work in the lab. The workshops address relevant topics in biology, mathematics, physics and computer science.

The Scienteens Lab was founded by the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) in 2013 and is under the patronage of Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Stéphanie of Luxembourg.

In 2015, the Scienteens Lab was awarded a prize by the National Research Fund (FNR) for its activities: the FNR Award for Outstanding Promotion of Science to the Public.

In 2016, the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) joined the initiative to offer additional scientific activities.
