This is the story of the beginnings of the University of Luxembourg, as seen through the eyes of Michel Goedert, who was a member of its Conseil de Gouvernance from 2004 to 2023.

Goedert was born and bred in Luxembourg, but he has lived and worked abroad for over fifty years. This position as both an insider and an outsider has shaped his views of Luxembourg and its University.

This illustrated narrative, which develops over around 180 pages, oscillates between factual descriptions and personal views. Goedert describes the opportunities and challenges resulting from the creation of a research-based University in a small country in the 21st century.
