Luxembourg National Research Fund launched a program for National Centres of Excellence and Research (NCER). NCER provides a structuring framework and funding instrument to bundle research excellence around a mission of significant societal relevance by encouraging high-level transdisciplinary research and intersectoral collaboration. Joerg Osterrieder is in the steering committee responsible for monitor the development and implementation for one of the NCER line called 'Financial Technologies'.
National Centres of Excellence and Research Programme
The digital transformation is poised to have an outsized impact on Luxembourg’s most important industry — finance. But for the financial industry to keep pace as new technologies change not only consumer expectations but also regulatory demands, the sector needs more structured scientific support. The NCER in Financial Technologies (NCER-FT) is an interdisciplinary centre that looks deeply at the financial industry’s technological challenges and opportunities. It provides much-needed thought leadership, scientific insights, and practical training. Lead by researchers from the University of Luxembourg's Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT), the Department of Law (DoL), and the Department of Finance (DoF), the NCER-FT implements a uniquely interdisciplinary research approach, combining expertise from technology, finance, and law. This interdisciplinary research approach is not only essential for developing practical, sustainable solutions to the challenges of digitalization in finance, but is also unique in the world.
