title: [Research in Luxembourg from the legislative point of view].
abstract: Since the independence of the grand-duchy of Luxembourg in 1839 it has taken a long time with complicated procedures to develop research in our country. The creation of a society for research and conservation of historical monuments goes back to 1845 followed by the Society of Natural Sciences in 1850, then by the Medical Society in 1862. Those 3 societies were at the origin of the Institut Grand Ducal. The creation of a Luxembourg institute for scientific research (CLRS) on April 1977 allowed a first public financing for research. The law of March 9th 1987 defined the type of research in 3 different centers of Public Research (CRP). On May 31st 1999 the National Fund of Research (FNR) was born. The author presents the different positions of the Council of State concerning these projects. The creation of the University of Luxembourg by law on July 17th 2003 raised many problems of coordination, collaboration and competences. Some solutions of this imbroglio are suggested.
