To showcase a glimpse of the research with impact the FNR has supported over the last 25 years, we are bringing you a series “25 examples of research with impact”, which will feature five examples from each priority research area. We have chosen out of the researchers that have received significant FNR funding and have been doing so for at least 5 years. We have taken great care to include a diverse range of research areas, and to cover as many areas as possible within each domain, with a focus on the impact for Luxembourg where possible. Each feature will include one interviewee, speaking on behalf of their group or department, and will be accompanied by a short video with the scientist on camera answering 3 questions as a teaser for the article.
The features will be available below as and when they are published.
