iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

"Remember to use it as an instrument, not as your brain." Alexander Stubb, President of Finland, on AI, speaking to our students on Belval Campus during his state visit to Luxembourg. His fear: AI becoming "a replacement to your analytical skills". #uni_lu #AI

🌿 Prof. Anupam Sengupta: quantum effects may play a role in how plants use sunlight so efficiently. 🤖 Rick Schneider, Helical: in work with Pfizer, AI identified significantly more patients at risk. 🔒 Shekoufeh Gorgi Zadeh: AI still makes mistakes, so regulation keeps science trustworthy.

Quantum sensors are built to pick up signals too faint for conventional instruments. In medicine, that could mean spotting a disease long before the first symptom. That was the focus of the latest #Quantum & #AI Breakfast by the University of Luxembourg and the Luxembourg AI Factory.

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 15/09/2026

Anupam Sengupta (Uni.lu) will present: "Biology through a quantum lens: opportunities, challenges, and AI in physics-informed biomedicine" From molecular dynamics to predictive disease modelling, clinical diagnostics and decision support.

Three questions psychology is now asked to answer: how early adversity shapes mental health, how AI changes the way we think and decide, and what makes people act on climate change. Not questions for psychologists alone. They decide how societies function. And #uni_lu works on all three. 🧵

Can concrete have a second life? Prof. Numa Bertola of the University of Luxembourg has won a €1.7M ERC Starting Grant for RESCUE: tools that tell engineers, before a building comes down, which concrete elements can be safely reused, and for how long. #uni_lu | @erc.europa.eu | #ERCStG

Two construction workers in orange safety gear guide a large concrete slab lifted by chains on a building site. Text reads: Research Impact. Can concrete have a second life? New tools could help engineers safely reuse structural concrete. €1.7M ERC Starting Grant for Prof. Numa Bertola and his RESCUE project.

One painting brought Dr Bereket Yilma back to a peaceful memory. The next did the opposite. That museum visit inspired ArtAICare, bringing AI and visual art into therapist-led care. Twelve years on, read the story: www.uni.lu/en/news/art-...

A person wearing a black sensor headband sits at a computer and looks at a landscape painting displayed on the screen. Text on a pale-blue panel reads: “Art therapy powered by AI: The Story Behind ArtAICare.”

Somewhere in the sky, a #NATO uncrewed aircraft goes silent. Its #SATCOM link has been jammed. It can no longer send navigation and sensor data back to its ground station, and the mission stops until it captures a signal again. 🧵

#AI is improving the engine. Quantum is beginning to redesign the road. Three things from the first Quantum & AI Breakfast of 2026: → AI in logistics is business transformation, not software → The hard part is the data, not the algorithm → Adoption depends on trust 🧵 #QuantumAtUniLu

Round table now. All four on stage: Lucas Fernandez (CHAMP Cargosystems), Daniel Kohl (Cluster for Logistics), Prof. Mantin (uni.lu), Reinhard Plaza Bartsch (Vodafone). Academia, cluster, software, operator. Four lenses, one table.

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 17/06/2026

Rare to see this level of strategic transparency from a global operator. Vodafone's logistics evolution, per Reinhard Plaza Bartsch: 1.0 (FY19): inventory management 2.0 (FY22): demand & supply 3.0 (FY26): EU hub & spoke 4.0 (FY27-30): logistics as a service

100

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 17/06/2026

A line that quietly reframes the whole talk: "AI cannot scale without a robust, reliable supply chain of its own." Prof. Mantin walks through it: rare earths, lithium, data centres, power. The discipline studying AI is also one AI now depends on.

100

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 17/06/2026

Up next: Benny Mantin, Professor in Supply Chain Management at the University of Luxembourg. His topic: how #quantum and #AI will reshape #logistics, and where we already are on that road.

110

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 17/06/2026

Closing on a strong line: "Quantum and AI are not technologies. They are the canvas on which we will paint the logistics systems of tomorrow." Four pillars for that future: sustainable, specialised, intelligent, resilient.

University of Luxembourg @uni.lu · 17/06/2026
