Data Science Lab with University Support

Data is a key tool for policy makers to respond to changes in a society and the challenges everyday people are facing. That is why Luxembourg’s National Institute of statistics and economic studies, STATEC has launched a partnership with the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) to set-up an in-house Data Science Lab. This lab will focus on developing and implementing AI tools that support STATEC’s mission in Luxembourg.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technology offers the opportunity to maximise the capabilities of all national statistics offices around the world. It enables statisticians to process and analyse the massive amounts of granular information now at our disposal - big data. This allows for official statistics to be produced more efficiently, which makes the roll-out of AI/ML for big data processing a priority for statistical institutes around the world. Luxembourg is part of that, and STATEC has made AI and ML integration an important element of their innovation agenda.
