For the duration of five years, the Chair of Urban Studies is funded by the City of Luxembourg (Ville de Luxembourg - VdL). The University supports such third-party collaborations in order to enhance the interaction of researchers and lecturers with practitioners, which may enhance both the relevance of research and the prospect for society and economy. Consequently, problems and research questions related to spatial development in Luxembourg city, the Grand Duchy and the Greater Region play a certain role in the Chair's profile. A good cooperation exists with the City-Management and the Service de l'urbanisme of VdL, as well as with the Ministry for Sustainable Development and Infrastructures of the Grand Duchy , particularly the Directorate for Spatial Planning (DATer). The City of Luxembourg also co-finances the national Information Unit for Urban Policy ( Cellule nationale d’Information pour la Politique Urbaine – CIPU), established in 2008.
