Doctoral Lecture Series on Cross-Border Labor Mobility
Each year, LISER and the University of Luxembourg organize a Doctoral Lecture Series where leading experts from around the world present their latest research on cross-border labor mobility. These lectures not only train our PhD candidates to excel in their fields, but also broaden the knowledge of Luxembourg’s academic community.
2025-2026 Lecture Series
All lectures take place at the University’s Weicker Campus. Registration is free but mandatory, more information and links available in the cards below. This lecture series is Supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) (PRIDE19/14302992) and (RESCOM/25/19439574).
