Travel & Hotel info:

Heart of the European Union and home to core European institutions, Luxembourg is well-known for its successful steel and banking industry. Enclosed between Belgium, Germany and France, the country with its 600000 people is also home to about 170 different nationalities, making it one of the most multilingual and multicultural places in Europe.

 Luxembourg, the only remaining Grand Duchy in the world, looks back to a rich history and culture, with its more than 50 castles, its famous old town fortifications, its museums, theatres and music venues, and not least, its restaurants. Luxembourg City, home to 100000 inhabitants, benefits from a reasonable size, perfect to be explored by foot or bike.With the recently founded University, and long established public research institutes, the country is emerging as hub for scientific development and higher education. Strong international collaborations and good funding opportunities are boosting innovation in fields as diverse as material science, biomedicine and communication technology, in addition to classical academic disciplines.Join us for the NEUBIAS conference in Luxembourg and explore the many attractions we have to offer!
