LUNEX University

LUNEX University of Applied Sciences is a new university based in Differdange (Luxembourg), which opened its doors for students in April 2016. LUNEX aims to establish itself as a reputable institution that contributes innovative research that is relevant to human health, human performance and the social, economic and cultural needs of society. The area of expertise of LUNEX University spans several key disciplines within sport management such as sport governance, sport marketing, innovation management, performance management, social impact, and anti-doping. It answers to the growing importance of the sport industry and demands placed on sport organisations to become more professional. The digital transformation of our society also impacts these organisations. LUNEX has strong partnerships with the Ministries of Higher Education and Research, of Sport, and of Health, as well as key stakeholders in Luxembourg and beyond such as the Luxembourg Olympic and Sports Committee, the National Institute for Sports and Physical Education, Luxembourg Sport Federations and Clubs, as well as schools in Luxembourg. LUNEX academics have significant expertise in sport governance, capacity building of sport organisations, and sport coaching. LUNEX staff have already been involved in EU projects analysing policies, sport stakeholders mapping and skills development in sport. Therefore, LUNEX has strong expertise in analysing and recommending appropriate policies and education programmes. The International Sport Management Department was already involved in some projects regarding preparation of standards of good governance in national sport federations in EU countries.

LUNEX will co-lead the WP5 Dissemination with MRU and NSA.
